TALES OF ADVENTURE: COLLECTION 12
Prepare yourself for a high-stakes adventure in every climate, as our latest Tales of Adventure collection takes you on a journey from the desert to volcanic islands, then to the high seas and behind enemy lines. Action-packed with explosive danger and life-threatening suspense, these four classic 60s cinematic escapades are ready to thrill all season round:
Escape From Zahrain (1962)
The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961) - Worldwide first on Blu-ray!
:Assault on a Queen (1966)
In Enemy Country (1968) - Worldwide first on Blu-ray!
Escape From Zahrain
Director Ronald Neame (The Poseidon Adventure) helmed this rollicking adventure, adapted from the novel Appointment in Zahrain by Michael Barrett, starring Yul Brynner.
A hunted revolutionary leads a ragtag group of individuals through the desert in an attempt to elude the security forces and escape the fictional Arab country of Zahrain. Also starring Sal Mineo (Rebel Without A Cause), Madlyn Rhue (It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World), and Jack Warden (Shampoo), (with a cameo from James Mason!) Escape From Zahrain is an explosive outing, packed with desert action and politically driven drama.
The Devil at 4 O'Clock
Disaster epic The Devil at 4 O'Clock pits cinema legends Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra against a smouldering volcano, in an adaptation of the novel by the same name by British author Max Catto from director Mervyn LeRoy (producer of The Wizard of Oz).
A crusty, eccentric priest recruits three reluctant convicts to help him rescue a children's leper colony from a Pacific island on the brink of catastrophe. Praised for its "exceptional special effects" (Variety), it was filmed in part on location in Hawaii, with a replica volcano built on farmland in California that was detonated in an extraordinary climactic sequence.
Assault on a Queen
Adapted for the screen by Twilight Zone maestro Rod Serling from the novel by Jack Finney, this nautical heist adventure stars Frank Sinatra and Virna Lisi (La Reine Margot), and is directed by Jack Donohue (Babes in Toyland).
A motley crew of treasure hunters plan to rob the cruise liner RMS Queen Mary, using a recovered WW2 German submarine. Also starring Anthony Franciosa (Across 110th Street) and Richard Conte (The Godfather), Assault on a Queen is an edge-of-your-seat high seas caper ready to be boarded and pillaged.
In Enemy Country
Head across the front lines with In Enemy Country, a wartime adventure starring Anthony Franciosa (A Face in the Crowd), Anjanette Comer (The Baby), and Guy Stockwell (Santa Sangre), directed by Harry Keller (Kitten with a Whip).
As war looms in 1939, cold-blooded French intelligence operative Charles persuades his fellow agent and former flame Denise to marry a German officer and go deep undercover. Four years later, as Allied ships are devastated by a deadly new torpedo, Charles parachutes behind enemy lines to destroy the factory producing it, only to find himself operating dangerously close to the woman he sacrificed for the mission. An underseen gem for fans of classic espionage adventure film, filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope by Universal Pictures.
ESSENTIAL FILM NOIR: COLLECTION 7
The lawless shadows and murky saboteurs of noir once again beckon, as we bring our seventh collection of Essential Film Noir to your screens.
These four scintillating 40s gems are filled with wartime intrigue and furtive espionage:
Lucky Jordan (1942)
China (1943)
Tangier (1946)
Singapore (1947)
Lucky Jordan
Screen legend Alan Ladd made a mark with his first leading role with Lucky Jordan, a comedic noir caper from director Frank Tuttle, co-starring Helen Walker (Nightmare Alley).
A New York gangster is unwillingly drafted into the army and deserts, but becomes patriotic when he stumbles upon foreign spies bent on stealing American military secrets. A must-see for all Alan Ladd fans, this fast-firing script was brought to life by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Karl Tunberg (Ben-Hur), with superb cinematography from seven-time Academy Award nominee John F. Seitz (Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard).
China
Director John Farrow helmed this wartime noir adventure, starring Alan Ladd, who donned a fedora and leather jacket and is said to be a source of inspiration for Indiana Jones.
Shortly before Pearl Harbor, American opportunist David Jones and partner Johnny Sparrow are in China to sell oil to the invading Japanese army. Cynical about the sufferings of the Chinese, Jones meets compassionate teacher Carolyn Grant while travelling cross-country to Shanghai. Sparks fly between these strong-willed characters, neither budging an inch. But when Jones witnesses a Japanese atrocity, his feelings toward his customers (and Carolyn) begin to change… Also starring Oscar-winner Loretta Young and with a score from Oscar-winning composer Victor Young, the film was a hit on release and features a supporting cast including Sen Yung, Philip Ahn, and Richard Loo.
Tangier
Director George Waggner (The Wolf Man) made his noir mark with Tangier, an exotic, thrilling mystery starring Maria Montez, Robert Paige, and Sabu.
Disgraced American war correspondent Paul Kenyon, café dancer Rita, and local entrepreneur Pepe join forces to battle a Nazi diamond smuggler. Often described as a riff on Casablanca, Tangier is filled with murder, revenge, and twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Singapore
Fred MacMurray and Ava Gardner lead this romantic crime film noir, a cat-and-mouse thriller from director John Brahm.
After the war, Matt Gordon returns to Singapore to retrieve a fortune in smuggled pearls, unable to forget about his prewar fiancée, the alluring Linda, and her disappearance during the Japanese attack. But now Linda resurfaces… with amnesia and married to rich planter Van Leyden. Meanwhile, sinister fence Mauribus schemes to get Matt's pearls. From the producer of Casino Royale (1967), Jerry Bresler, Singapore is classic noir, ready to remind you that things may not be all they appear on the surface…
