British label Network Releasing has announced its March slate of Blu-ray releases. Amongst them are: Ten Little Indians (1965), Where No Vultures Fly (1951), and The Dove (1974).
The Dove
Synopsis: An uplifting family drama based on the real life experiences of Robin Lee Graham who, at the age of sixteen, began a solo circumnavigation of the world in his small boat – the youngest person ever to do so.
Featuring stunning cinematography from frequent Ingmar Bergman collaborator Sven Nykvist and a hauntingly beautiful score by John Barry, The Dove was the recipient of a prestigious Royal World Charity Premiere in the UK. It is presented here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original Panavision aspect ratio.
A high school dropout sets off from California to circumnavigate the globe in his 23 foot sloop, The Dove. It's a journey that took five years to complete – five years of battling the elements, loneliness, hazardous seas and terrible hardships, but it was a journey that turned a boy into a man. A man that found adventure, freedom and love.

Suspect

When he and his research team discover a cure for both typhus and bubonic plague, Professor Sewell is appalled to find their results gagged under the Official Secrets Act. Conflict is immediate - the research team want their findings to benefit mankind, but officialdom are convinced that, in the wrong hands, it could be used as a weapon of war!

Ten Little Indians
Synopsis: An all-star cast feature in this stylish adaptation of Agatha Christie's quintessential murder mystery, produced and co-written by legendary B-movie mogul Harry Alan Towers. Directed by George Pollock (who had previously won great acclaim with the Miss Marple films starring Margaret Rutherford) and sporting the ultimate gimmick of a 60-second "Whodunnit Break" prior to the final reveal, Ten Little Indians is featured here as a High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Ten strangers arrive at a snowbound mansion – invited by their host, the shadowy Mr U.N. Owen. During dinner, an audio tape of Owen's voice is played, revealing that each guest has a scandalous secret – a secret that each would be willing to kill to protect. It's not long before the first guest is murdered. It won't be the last.
Technical Specs:
Sing As We Go!

Priestley and sees Gracie as an out of work millhand in search of gainful employment. It is featured here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
When Greybeck Mill closes, Gracie finds herself out of work. Determined to get back on her feet, she bicycles to Blackpool in search of a job and ends up sharing lodgings with a potential beauty queen at the house of Madame Osiris, a palmist!
