Danger Within
Synopsis: An all-star cast feature in this key British war film, written by BAFTA winners Bryan Forbes and Frank Harvey and powerfully directed by Don Chaffey. Starring Richard Todd, Richard Attenborough, Bernard Lee, Dennis Price and Michael Wilding, Danger Within is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its as-exhibited aspect ratio.
Italy, 1943. When an escape attempt from an officers-only prison camp goes badly wrong, the escape committee are convinced they have a traitor in their ranks.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Siege of Pinchgut
Synopsis: A tense thriller shot on location in Sydney, The Siege of Pinchgut would become the legendary Ealing Studios' final film. Grittily directed by Harry Watt and starring Aldo Ray in a quintessential "tough guy" role, it is presented here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Criminal Matt Kirk makes a daring escape on his way to prison with the aid of his brother. Escaping by sea, their boat's propeller becomes fouled and they drift ashore on the tiny island of Pinchgut. When Matt is recognised by the island's caretaker the criminals take him and his family hostage.
Technical Specs:
Dentist On The Job
Synopsis: Original Carry On stars Bob Monkhouse, Kenneth Connor, Shirley Eaton and Eric Barker star in this hilarious sequel to 1960's Dentist in the Chair! Also featuring Charles Hawtrey and Richard Wattis, Dentist on the Job is presented here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
The launch of Proudfoot Industries' new toothpaste is a resounding failure, much to ire of its managing director. When a minion suggests they engage a dentist to endorse the product, it's pointed out that dentists would be struck off for such an endorsement - so what they really need are some clueless dentists with no common sense...
Technical Specs:
Eyewitness a.k.a. Sudden Terror
Synopsis: A hard-hitting conspiracy thriller from cult director John Hough, Eyewitness features a powerful screenplay from Oscar-winning writer Ronald Harwood and an uncredited Bryan Forbes. Mark Lester stars alongside Lionel Jeffries and Susan George in this rarely-seen drama that is presented here as a High Definition restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Eleven-year-old Ziggy, a bored fantasist, makes up far-fetched stories to pass the time on his Mediterranean island home. When he witnesses the assassination of a visiting president, no-one believes him – apart from the assassin, who is determined to silence the young boy permanently!
Technical Specs:
The Tommy Steele Story
Synopsis: Shrewdly capitalising on the unprecedented mid '50s teen interest in rock and roll, The Tommy Steele Story features "the boy from Bermondsey" in a dramatised tale of his own meteoric rise to fame. Featuring songs by Steele himself, Lionel Bart and Mike Pratt, the film was a global sensation and is presented here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Tommy plays London's plush Cafe de Paris, captivating the audience with his performance. Besieged by press-men after the show, the awestruck star tells them that he will never forget how it all started...
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Sally In Our Alley
Synopsis: Beloved by the British public for her string of hit pre-war films, Gracie Fields' Lancastrian earthiness, impish humour and memorable songs have endeared her to many generations of fans. Her screen debut, Sally in Our Alley sees Gracie as a good-natured coffee shop worker in this bittersweet wartime romance. It is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
It's been over ten years since Sally believed her boyfriend George had been killed in the trenches during the Great War. But George had only been badly wounded and, now recovered, goes in search of his true love.
