Hopefully, Kino will have access to the insightful interview with Brooke Shields that's on the Imprint.

Unless of course Ms Shields chooses to be in Vogue and sue because she was underage ...

Totally unexpected but an excellent telefilm. It was issued on laser disc but never DVD. Very happy about this one, thanks KL.

Hopefully, Kino will have access to the insightful interview with Brooke Shields that's on the Imprint.

Even better is the incredible historian commentary track that both goes over the real events and places of the story plus informative anecdotal behind-the-scenes stuff. I suspect that this, at least, will not appear on the Kino release.

UNDERTOW (1949) B&W 71 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
Best known for fright fare such as House on Haunted Hill, The Tingler and Let’s Kill Uncle, cult director William Castle turns his lens on guns and gangsters for the film noir gem Undertow. Scott Brady (I Was a Shoplifter) stars as Tony Reagan, a gambler just out of wartime military service. No longer interested in wagers and speculations, Reagan wants only to open up a mountain vacation lodge. Before this can take place, however, he is framed for murder and forced to go on the run from both the police and the unknown killers. Dorothy Hart (Larceny) and Peggy Dow (Shakedown) play the love interests in this serpentine tale of mob-and-moll double-crosses, with John Russell (Yellow Sky), Bruce Bennett (Mildred Pierce) and future star Rock Hudson (The Tarnished Angels) in his second film appearance.

OUTSIDE THE WALL (1950) B&W 80 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
Richard Basehart (He Walked by Night) stars as Larry Nelson, paroled from prison after serving nearly half of his thirty-year sentence. Larry is determined to not fall into the clutches of the law again and takes a quiet job at a country sanitarium. There he meets and falls for a gold-digging nurse, Charlotte Maynard (Marilyn Maxwell, Race Street), and he knows the only way to enter her web is to make a lot of fast money. So when Larry learns that the sanitarium is a front for a robbery syndicate, he soon finds himself a clay pigeon for the gang. Meanwhile, sweet-and-wholesome nurse Ann Taylor (Dorothy Hart, Undertow) does her best to help Larry out of the unpleasant situation. Also starring Swedish sensation Signe Hasso (The House on 92nd Street), Outside the Wall is a classic noir story of an ex-con’s struggle to go straight.

HOLD BACK TOMORROW (1955) B&W 75 Minutes 1.85:1 Not Rated
What Strange Law Answered His Last Request...to Bring THIS Beautiful Woman to His Cell? Hollywood great John Agar (Sands of Iwo Jima, Shield for Murder) stars as Joe, a death row inmate with one final request before his impending hanging: to spend the night with a woman. The police bring him a down-on-her-luck former “waitress” named Dora, played by femme fatale extraordinaire Cleo Moore (On Dangerous Ground, The Other Woman). At first these two tormented souls meet with disdain, but soon gain each other’s respect. After a night of raw and unexpected passion, Joe informs Dora that, with her love, he will not be afraid to die. The nihilistic noir two-hander Hold Back Tomorrow comes written, produced and directed by Czech star and cult auteur, Hugo Haas (The Girl on the Bridge, Bait).

I'll definitely buy this box-set. I have Undertow on DVD but not the other two, both of which I've been wanting for long time. It's good to see Cleo Moore receiving more Blu-ray exposure.

 

[timk1041]

More terrific titles in this box set with 2 of them never having an official previous home video release. Once again, incredible art work on the cases too. Thanks, Kino.

 

[Traveling Matt]

Thank you for Undertow. The film debut of the lovely Peggy Dow, who only appeared in nine films and is still with us at 94.

 

[Gerani53]

Thank you for Undertow. The film debut of the lovely Peggy Dow, who only appeared in nine films and is still with us at 94.

She's wonderful in BRIGHT VICTORY, opposite Arthur Kennedy (another Kino U-I release).

1973 Color 130 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
Serpico is based on the true story of a New York policeman who discovers that honesty is not expected to be part of his job. He endures scorn and mistreatment from his fellow cops while attempting to perform his duties with integrity. The character of Frank Serpico, combining the best elements of the Establishment and counterculture, is a tour-de-force role for Al Pacino (The Godfather, Scarface). The film is a breathtaking suspense story and a fascinating character study as well as a memorable statement about government’s inherent flaws. Rendered with unflinching realism by director Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon), Serpico earned 1973 Oscar nominations for its screenplay by Waldo Salt (Midnight Cowboy) and Norman Wexler (Saturday Night Fever) from the acclaimed biography by Peter Maas (The Valachi Papers), and for Best Actor, cementing Pacino as one of the cinema’s most versatile and iconic talents. Featuring Cornelia Sharp (Busting, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud) as Leslie, Serpico’s girlfriend.
