British label Network Releasing will add three new titles to its Blu-ray catalog this June: Just Like A Woman (1967), Insignificance (1985), and Futtocks End And Other Short Stories (1965-1970).
Futtocks End And Other Short Stories
Description: A notable presence in the British film industry for several decades and a key director of 1970s film comedies – including outings for Frankie Howerd, Alf Garnett and Danny la Rue – Bob Kellett also produced four of the funniest short films ever made for British cinema.
Starring Ronnie Barker, Richard Briers, Bernard Cribbins, Barbara Windsor, David Lodge, Wilfrid Brambell, Joan Sims and Michael Hordern, these films were "wordless" – their humour carried by performance, sound effects and music – and have all been newly restored in High Definition by Network's inhouse award-wining Restoration Team from original film elements in their original as-exhibited aspect ratio.
A HOME OF YOUR OWN
A young couple select a site to build their new dream home, setting in train a series of incompetent events!
SAN FERRY ANN
A hilariously wicked look at the British at play, as a group of holidaymakers board the San Ferry Ann to France.
FUTTOCKS END
A gathering at the decaying country pile of Futtocks End give rise an ongoing series of saucy misunderstandings!
VIVE LE SPORT
Two swinging dolly-birds roar through Europe in their Mini Cooper, a sinister organization in hot pursuit!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Just Like A Woman
Description: Wendy Craig and Francis Matthews star as a bickering couple going through an acrimonious separation in this swinging, offbeat comedy from producer Bob Kellett and idiosyncratic writer/director Robert Fuest. Also starring John Wood, Dennis Price, Miriam Karlin, Peter Jones and Clive Dunn, Just Like a Woman is presented here as a brand-new High Definition restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Lewis and Scilla's rocky marriage finally breaks apart – a situation made worse by the fact that Scilla is a key part of the television show that Lewis produces. But while Lewis copes by picking up a passing starlet, Scilla indulges her passion for bathrooms by getting one custom-designed by an ex-Nazi architect!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Insignificance
Description: An artistic tour de force from multi-award-winning director Nicolas Roeg, Insignificance remains one of Roeg's most compelling and idiosyncratic films. A distinctive adaptation of Terry Johnson's acclaimed play, it features bravura performances from Theresa Russell, Michael Emil, Gary Busey and Tony Curtis and is featured here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
On a hot night in 1954, a professor, an actress, a senator and a ballplayer converge in a New York hotel, their interactions moving fluidly through time in a post-war fable that can only end in destruction. Or does it?
STREET DATE: JUNE 21.
