Kino Lorber will release on Blu-ray Pete Walker Crime Collection (1968-1971). The two-disc set is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 29.
Description: While making the transition from swinging '60s nudie films to his signature gut-wrenching horror films of the '70s, Pete Walker directed four hardboiled gems of contemporary British noir. Walker's milieu was a criminal underworld of posh London nightclubs and tawdry amusement halls, of bisexuality and brutality, pop stars and pornographers.
Die Screaming, Marianne stars Susan George as a free-spirited hippie chick caught in a nightmarish plot to rob her of an inheritance. Usually marketed (and dismissed) as erotica, Cool It, Carol! (aka The Dirtiest Girl I Ever Met) follows a small-town couple who seek adventure in the big city and find themselves involved in the smut film racket (a seedy business which also figures prominently in The Big Switch). Moon (Man of Violence) is an international heist film starring Michael Latimer as a James Bond-like gun for hire.
