British label Network Releasing has announced its February batch of Blu-ray releases. They are: All Coppers Are... (1972), Time for Loving (1972), The Lovers! (1973), The Man Who Finally Died (1963), and Space: 1999: Super Space Theater (1974-1982).
All Coppers Are...
Official description: Two friends – one a policeman and one a criminal – come into conflict in this tense, early '70s crime thriller starring Martin Potter, Julia Foster and Nicky Henson. With taut, gritty direction from Sidney Hayers and a hard-edged script from Z-Cars writer Allan Prior, All Coppers Are... is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Joe, Sue, and Barry meet at a wedding party and soon become friends. Sue falls for Joe, a policeman, but he is married and so she turns her affections to Barry - who she soon finds out is a tearaway planning a warehouse robbery.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Man Who Finally Died
Official description: British cinema legend Stanley Baker's intense persona and rugged charm are brought to the fore in this gripping tale of Cold War espionage, where he plays a son in search of his missing father. Co-starring Peter Cushing, Mai Zetterling and Eric Portman, The Man Who Finally Died is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
In London, jazz musician Joe Newman receives a startling telephone call from his German father, a man he believed long dead. At the same time, a funeral is taking place in a quiet Bavarian town - and the coffin bears the name of his father! Joe's search for the truth proves more disturbing than he could ever have imagined.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Lovers!
Official description: Reprising the classic sitcom roles that first made them household names, Richard Beckinsale and Paula Wilcox star as Geoffrey and Beryl - an inexperienced young couple attempting to negotiate the sexual minefield of the 'permissive' society. This big-screen transfer of Jack Rosenthal's top-rated comedy series sees old-fashioned girl Beryl continuing to slap down the advances of her frustrated boyfriend - whose clumsy attempts to initiate 'Percy Filth' suggest he's not quite up to speed himself! The Lovers! is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Like everyone else Geoffrey and Beryl want to fall in love – or they think they do; like everyone else since Adam and Eve. But Adam and Eve didn't live in Manchester in 1972...
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Time for Loving
Official description: Filmed in Paris by Oscar-nominated director Christopher Miles from celebrated French dramatist Jean Anouilh's first original screenplay, this bittersweet romantic comedy-drama stars Joanna Shimkus, Mel Ferrer, Britt Ekland and Susan Hampshire.
A tale of three love affairs seen from the viewpoint of a small studio room in Montmartre, Time for Loving showcases a classic score from legendary composer Michel Legrand (with vocals from Dusty Springfield and Matt Monro) and is featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Space: 1999: Super Space Theater
Official description: Capitalising on the success of the first two Space: 1999 movies (episodes edited together as cinema features in the wake of Star Wars) ITC created what would ultimately become thirteen full-length movies for cable and home video under the banner Super Space Theater. Four of these were made from episodes of Space: 1999, though they included new music in places and (for Alien Attack) additional scenes.
Each of these four movies has been rebuilt from the High Definition restorations created for the series episodes – they are presented here in their original 4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio alongside new 16:9 widescreen special editions, with both Alien Attack and Destination Moonbase-Alpha featuring enhanced special effects. All four special editions have been re-edited, restoring scenes and adding material not in the original presentation.
Also included in this set is a rebuild of the Italian theatrical movie Spazio: 1999 – debuting several months before TV transmissions began and featuring an idiosyncratic score from the legendary Ennio Morricone, it was the first time Space: 1999 was seen anywhere in the world.
