Peking Express (1951) Starring Joseph Cotten, Corinne Calvet, Edmund Gwenn & Benson Fong – Shot by Charles Lang (Sudden Fear) – Directed by William Dieterle (Portrait of Jennie, The Turning Point).

I never seen this Paramount movie beforehand so I'm looking forward to purchasing this Blu-ray. A remake of Shanghai Express.

Peking Express is a new one to me. Can't wait.

I don't think I've ever seen Peking Express either but as I like the cast, I'm interested.

I caught a very rare TV NYC screening 2 generations ago. It will be interesting to revisit on the power of Dieterle's name.

variety quoted on wikipedia SOUNDS very interesting! Peking Express was reviewed in Variety. The review stated, "... An excellent coating of intrigue and action against an Oriental background provides Peking Express with enough thriller melodramatics to satisfy action-minded audiences."[5] In a November 1952 The Hollywood Reporter news item, Peking Express was withdrawn from exhibition in India, after China protested.[2]

YES! I stand to be corrected but I don't believe this was ever released on laser disc or DVD so I'm very excited. Another title from KL making its physical media debut. Thank you, Kino Lorber!

Joseph Cotten and Edmund Gwenn, in a Hal Wallis production, directed by William Dieterle? Kino, just take my money!

Cotton at the top of his game and Gwenn still in demand after Miracle On 34th Street

This is indeed a first time on disc. (Legally anyway...)

I recently picked up a digital version of Peking Express on itunes. It was under $5 at the time. Still haven't watched it. I will probably wait to get this Bluray before i indulge.

That's two Paramount title announcements this weekend. I hope more are coming real soon.

Superb...another Imprint-only title that is being brought to the U.S. I wonder if any of Imprint's bonus features will be included.

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Coming October 25th from Scorpion Releasing and Kino Lorber!

THE SPORTING CLUB (1971)
• Brand NEW 4K Restoration by StudioCanal
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/Filmmaker Daniel Kremer
• NEW Interview with Director Larry Peerce
• NEW Interview with Co-Star Nicolas Coster
• Optional English Subtitles

Color 107 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
From Larry Peerce, the acclaimed director of One Potato, Two Potato, Goodbye Columbus, The Incident, Ash Wednesday, The Other Side of the Mountain and Two-Minute Warning, comes this jet-black satire that takes a brilliant and bloody look at power, hypocrisy and corruption. The Centennial Club: a rich man’s paradise, where he can get away from business, his wife and the “lower” classes. The very select membership limits itself to those bred to rule—the American Royalty. When the current members of the club meet for a 100-year anniversary celebration, one of the younger men decides it’s time to “purify” the membership. His plan takes shape as the opening of a time capsule sets off a wild party and men suddenly revert to a savage animal level. Starring Robert Fields (They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?), Maggie Blye (The Italian Job), Nicolas Coster (The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper), Jack Warden (The White Buffalo) and Linda Blair (Savage Streets), it’s a film of disturbing yet insightful surprises!

Also Available on DVD!

Wonderful news. Thank you, Kino! Finally able to upgrade from a DVD.

The Longest Yard was one of the most memorable moviegoing experiences of my life . For those of you too young to have seen it in theatres ( or the lukewarm remake) , the final game had audiences cheering and howling like they were at a real football game.

 

[borisfw]

Other than all the other great scenes from The Longest Yard, my favorite part of the movie is Bernadette Peter's Beehive hairdo.

I think she is the last surviving member of the cast. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.
