Kino Lorber have detailed four additional upcoming Blu-ray releases: The Light at the Edge of the World (1971), The Day of the Dolphin (1971), Perfect Friday (1970), and Quai des Orfèvres (1947).
The Day of the Dolphin
Synopsis: Marine biologists Jake (George C. Scott) and Maggie Terrell (Trish Van Devere) have for many years been doing dolphin research in the Florida Keys, and have even coached some dolphins to speak primitive English. But when two of the dolphins are kidnapped, an investigation proves that the Terrells' financial backers, the Franklin Foundation, have had sinister intentions all along. The dolphins are to be used to deliver and detonate explosives beneath the president's yacht.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Light at the Edge of the World
Synopsis: A classic adventure from Jules Verne, the legendary writer of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, From the Earth to the Moon and The Mysterious Island! On the bleak, storm-tossed southern tip of South America, a lonely lighthouse guards the world's most treacherous—and lucrative—shipping lane. But beyond the forces of nature, the lighthouse keepers must also face an even more formidable foe, and soon the turbulent waters become the bloody battleground of two men who fight for control of the cruel Cape Horn and for the pleasures of a helpless, shipwrecked beauty. Kirk Douglas (The Vikings) is Denton, the iron-willed lighthouse keeper who confronts the murderous pirate captain Kongre, played with delicious malevolence by Yul Brynner (Kings of the Sun) in one of his favorite roles. Samantha Eggar (Return from the Ashes) is Arabella, an English noblewoman imperiled by her beauty, desired by both men. The only hope to save the seas and their many travelers flickers in a single dim beacon, known to sailors as The Light at the Edge of the World! The stellar cast includes Fernando Rey (The French Connection), Renato Salvatori (Rocco and His Brothers), Massimo Ranieri (Chronicle of a Homicide) and Aldo Sambrell (Navajo Joe). Stunning cinematography by the great Henri Decaë (Le Samouraï, The Sicilian Clan).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Perfect Friday
Synopsis: Stuffy bank manager Graham (Stanley Baker) knows he's gone as far as he can professionally, but aspires to something more; specifically, robbing the very bank to which he's given his life. To this end, he enlists the help of a broke aristocrat (David Warner) and his materialistic wife, Lady Britt (Ursula Andress). Graham's sells them on his plan, and sleeps with Lady Britt in the bargain, beginning a series of manipulations and double-crosses that continues right up to the heist.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Quai des Orfèvres
Synopsis: When the sleazy movie financier who has been pursuing nightclub performer Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair) turns up dead, her jealous husband (Bernard Blier) is the prime suspect in Inspector Antoine's (Louis Jouvet) investigation for the Quai des Orfèvres, France's Scotland Yard. Winner of Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival in Best Director in 1947.
