My guess for the major MGM 4K announcement is "The Apartment" unless its another Criterion blu ray that goes to Kino for 4K release.

Will be really pleased to get this. Never released on DVD and an excellent part score by Miklos Rozsa.

I adore this film. Precode doesn't get much sleazier than this.

Great to know. I've never seen it, or even heard of it, other than a title in various filmographies. But I'm definitely getting it. That poster is awesome.

Coming Soon on Blu-ray!

Fragment of Fear (1970) Starring David Hemmings, Gayle Hunnicutt, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Flora Robson & Adolfo Celi – Shot by Oswald Morris (Fiddler on the Roof) – Screenplay by Paul Dehn (Goldfinger) – Directed by Richard C. Sarafian (Vanishing Point).

Thanks to Kino, I’m in on Fragment Of Fear. It’s a sadly not well known mystery thriller that I’ve found it to be enjoyable but IMHO it has the worst score for a mystery. David Hemings delivers a fine Performance.

I’m positive the price point will much better than the region free Indicator UK release, but without the massive extras it had.

I saw that film but can't remember anything about it! I didn't realise Indicator released it some years ago.

It's one of those films which doesn't have a proper ending. It's a good exercise in suspense but without a sensible conclusion, it's empty and meaningless.

You guessed wrong, but was right about it being another Criterion Blu-ray!

Can anybody tell me where to find a good synopsis of Fragment of Fear? This blurb caught my attention, and I checked on wikipedia and others, but not a one gives spoilers for the ending? Can somebody point me in the right direction?

B&W 75 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
Comedy legend Bob Hope (The Ghost Breakers, Road to Morocco) teams up with director Sidney Lanfield (My Favorite Blonde, The Lemon Drop Kid) for the rollicking comedy-thriller Where There’s Life. Hope stars as Michael Valentine, a timid New York radio personality who has his world turned upside down when he is named the long-lost heir to a far-away kingdom. He soon becomes the target of spies, kidnapping, death plots and two determined women: his ex-fiancée (Vera Marshe, The Crimson Key) and General Grimovitch (Signe Hasso, The House on 92nd Street), a beautiful blonde militant who’s trying to get him safely to his new country. Meanwhile, his ex’s Manhattan cop brothers and revolutionaries from his new “kingdom” are all out to get him! Featuring a perfect blend of comedy and action, this classic showcases Bob Hope in top form and co-stars William Bendix (Lifeboat), George Coulouris (Citizen Kane) and George Zucco (The Cat and the Canary).

The film ranked 35th for the year and grossed 3 million in domestic box office keeping Hope alive at the Box Office!

Where There's Life is a fun spy spoof with Hope at his cinematic peak. Bendix is always fun and Hasso brings some glamour. An underrated Hope film.
