Kino Lorber have detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases: P.J. (1968) and The Groundstar Conspiracy (1972). The two releases will be available for purchase on October 6.
P.J.
Synopsis: A down-on-his luck New York private eye P.J. Detweiler (George Peppard, Newman's Law) takes a bodyguard job to protect Maureen Preble (Gayle Hunnicutt, Marlowe), the mistress of a shady millionaire William Orbison (Raymond Burr, Rear Window) and gets involved in conspiracy and murder after Orbison's business partner is gunned down and P.J. is framed for his murder. It becomes clear to P.J. that he's been set up and after his release by the authorities, he makes it back to New York and confronts the masterminds of the plot. Beautifully shot in CinemaScope by Loyal Griggs (Shane) with a memorable score by Neil Hefti (Duel at Diablo). The wonderful supporting cast includes Brock Peters (Framed), Wilfrid Hyde-White (The Third Man), Coleen Gray (Kiss of Death), Susan Saint James (Love at First Bite) and Anthony James (High Plains Drifter).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: A violent blast destroys the U.S. government's top-secret Groundstar Research Complex, and six high ranking scientists are incinerated. The saboteur, employee John David Welles (Sarrazin), is found barely alive and clutching stolen national security documents. But when ruthless government investigator Tuxan (Peppard) is assigned to the case, he discovers that Welles's memory has been mysteriously erased. Welles escapes from federal custody, and Tuxan pursues the fugitive in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. With the help of Nicole Devon (Christine Belford, Pocket Money), a beautiful young woman, Welles begins to piece together the truth about his own shocking past. Is he an enemy spy responsible for the Groundstar massacre or an innocent pawn in the deadliest conspiracy of all? Beautifully shot in CinemaScope by Michael Reed (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) and co-starring James Olson (The Andromeda Strain), Cliff Potts (Silent Running) and Tim O'Connor (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century).
