Kino Lorber will release on 4K Blu-ray Peril & Distress: Endless Night / Picture Mommy Dead (1966-1972). The double-feature release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 4.
PICTURE MOMMY DEAD (1966)
From cult filmmaker Bert I. Gordon, the director of The Food of the Gods and Empire of the Ants, comes this haunting thriller that will send chills down your spine. After Edward Shelley's (Don Ameche) wealthy wife (Zsa Zsa Gabor) dies in a mysterious fire, he marries Francene (Martha Hyer), the governess of his daughter Susan (Susan Gordon). Francene is only interested in Edward's money and wastes no time spending his inheritance. She then turns her attention to Susan—if Susan and Edward were both to die, the rest of the inheritance would go to Anthony (Maxwell Reed), Edward's cousin and Francene's former lover. Beautifully shot by Ellsworth Fredericks (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and co-starring Wendell Corey and Signe Hasso.
ENDLESS NIGHT (1972)
Based on the terrifying suspense novel by Agatha Christie, the legendary writer of Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express, Endless Night stars Hayley Mills as a wealthy heiress who moves into a magnificent dream house with her new husband (Hywel Bennett). But when murder begins to make itself at home, the stage is set for a stunning climax that even hardcore Christie fans consider one of her darkest and most shocking twists ever. George Sanders, Britt Ekland and Lois Maxwell co-star in this gripping psychological thriller, masterfully adapted and directed by Sidney Gilliat; and featuring a haunting score by the great Bernard Herrmann (North by Northwest, Psycho).
