StudioCanal will release on Blu-ray director Guy Hamilton's recently restored war drama
The Colditz Story (1955), starring John Mills, Eric Portman and Christopher Rhodes. The preliminary release date set by the studio is December 10th.
The current announcement for this upcoming release does not have any special features listed.
Based on the novels
The Colditz Story and
The Latter Days by P.R. Read, Guy Hamilton's film retells the experiences of Allied prisoners-of-war who were held in Colditz Castle. These POWs were strictly monitored as they were a high risk category and had constantly tried to escape whichever prison they where previously placed in. Despite being outnumbered by their guards, the prisoners of Colditz continued to achieve their goal - freedom. The film inspired the 1972 TV series 'Colditz'.
