Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of René Clément's Joy House (1964), starring Alain Delon, Jane Fonda, and Lola Albright. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 23.
Description: Delon stars as Marc, a dashing young con man on the run from the mob. After seeking refuge in the Riviera villa of the widowed Barbara (Albright) and her curvaceous cousin, Melinda (Fonda), Marc becomes trapped in the passionate snares of both women, who are full of sinister surprises.
A neglected masterpiece from director René Clément (Forbidden Games, Is Paris Burning?, Rider on the Rain, And Hope to Die), Joy House weaves a wicked web of hidden desires and all-too-human corruptions. Lalo Schifrin (Coogan's Bluff) provides the eerie musical score; Henri Decaë (Le Samouraï) serves up the sumptuous cinematography. Joy House also known as The Love Cage features wonderful supporting performances by Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg of TV's The Dukes of Hazzard) and George Gaynes (Commandant Lassard of the Police Academy film series).
