Escape From Zahrain Blu-ray

Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Ronald Neame's Escape From Zahrain (1962), starring Yul Brynner, Sal Mineo, Jay Novello, Madlyn Rhue, and Jack Warden. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on July 21.

Description: The mighty Yul Brynner stars in this sunswept action-thriller from producer/director Ronald Neame (The Poseidon Adventure). In a strife-torn Arab state, fanatical loyalists of a nationalist leader (Brynner, The Magnificent Seven) attack the police van transporting him to prison and aid his escape into the deadly Arabian Desert. With him are fellow death-row prisoners Huston (Jack Warden, 12 Angry Men), a swashbuckling American who had embezzled a fortune from the Zahrain Oil Company, and Tahar (Anthony Caruso, The Asphalt Jungle), a sadistic maniac. Sal Mineo (Rebel Without a Cause) plays a young rebel who helps the fugitives flee the pursuing police in a stolen ambulance.

This vintage adventure yarn features a special cameo by James Mason (North by Northwest) and gorgeous widescreen cinematography by Ellsworth Fredericks (Invasion of the Body Snatchers).
