International Compulsion (1959). New U.K. Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Douglas R]

New UK label Signal One Entertainment has made an extremely promising debut with their initial Blu-ray releases licensed from Fox and MGM. The label's latest release - and from a new 4K restoration - is Richard Fleischer's excellent COMPULSION, a compelling film which, with its finely detailed black and white CinemaScope photography, is a major upgrade from the DVD. It's long been one of my favourite films containing excellent performances from Bradford Dillman, Dean Stockwell, E. G. Marshall and Orson Welles.

Signal One have been providing substantial extras along with their releases and COMPULSION is no exception. Amongst other extras on the disc are two National Film Theatre audio interviews with Richard Fleischer, who was particularly adept in making films based on real life crime such as THE BOSTON STRANGLER, TEN RILLINGTON PLACE and this one. Please note that this disc is locked to region B. I'm rather surprised that it hasn't already appeared on Twilight Times's schedule.

Your post Doug made me check out this new company.
Compulsion seems to be the pick of the bunch amongst B features and aging erotica.
Good news though and cheers for letting everyone know.
Hoping for some more titles from them like this one.

To each their own, of course Doug, but apart from some titles, things like Cherry 2000, Trip Gas..s, Majestyk, etc for me don't get the juices flowing.

The Seven Ups! I've been waiting for a region A release. How much longer?
