Hammer Films has revealed that it plans to release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray Francis Searle's Whispering Smith Hits London a.k.a. Whispering Smith vs. Scotland Yard (1952), starring Richard Carlson, Greta Gynt, Herbert Lom, and Alan Wheatley. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: A film unseen for decades returns from the shadows. Experience the exclusive first look at Hammer's long-lost noir, Whispering Smith Hits London, now painstakingly restored in 4K from the original negatives.
Before Hammer became world-renowned for horror, the studio was already mastering crime and suspense. Richard Carlson stars as Whispering Smith, an American detective whose London visit takes a darker turn when he's drawn into a suspicious death.
This restoration revives an essential chapter in early British noir, presented in a new 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray collector's edition with both UK and US cuts, newly mixed 5.1 audio, and extensive archival material.
