British label Network Releasing has announced that it will add a number of new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. Amongst them are Ralph Thomas' Some Girls Do (1969), Seth Holt's Station Six-Sahara (1963), and Michael Tuchner's Wilt (1989).
Some Girls Do
Synopsis: Richard Johnson returns as Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond in this action-packed take on the exploits of H.C. McNeile's famous fictional hero - this time with an added dose of late '60s whimsy when Drummond comes up against a gang of armed, gorgeous fembots! Some Girls Do is presented here as a new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original aspect ratio.
Drummond is hot on the trail of his nemesis, the devious Carl Petersen, who is hell-bent on sabotaging the new British fighter airplane. Peterson must be stopped - whatever the cost - but this time he's protected by a bodyguard of murderous female androids! Directed by Ralph Thomas (Deadlier Than the Male).

Five dysfunctional individuals man an isolated oil pipeline station in the Sahara, their mutual contempt only overshadowed by their desire for female company. Without warning, a car drives out of the desert night and crashes in front of the station - the driver is badly injured but the passenger, a gorgeous blonde, stirs up the tension amongst the men to unbearable levels.

But first, he has to learn how to drive...
