Coming 2021!

Brand New 2K Restoration!

Freud: The Secret Passion (1962) Starring Montgomery Clift & Susannah York – Shot by Douglas Slocombe (Raiders of the Lost Ark) – Music by Jerry Goldsmith (Chinatown) – Directed by John Huston (The Man Who Would Be King).

Long overdue! I've been waiting a long time on this one. I have a British R2 DVD but this one needs a spiffed up transfer. Glad to see KL bringing it home.

 

[JPCinema]

FREUD was the original title of the film as it was released. "The Secret Passion" was added in the US for general release thinking it would sell more tickets.
The original artwork is so much better.

 

[Bernard McNair]

This is a Day 1 for me as I have never seen the film and have wanted to see if since I read John Houston’s autobiography.
Thank you, Kino.

 

[PMF]

Even Freud, himself, would have no need to analyze as to why all John Huston films are worthy of a Day One purchase. Another fine addition to the KIno Lorber catalogue.

 

[Dick]

Probably fans who share a fondness for both this film and ALIEN already know that some of the music cues from FREUD were used in moderated form for the Ridley Scott film. Just a bit of trivia.

But, then again, the truth of all human behavior has always been alien to most.

I remember seeing KING RAT there.

Now THERE'S one I'd love to see KL issue on Blu-ray!

Another Universal 60s title out. Great!

 

[Ed Lachmann]

Freud is one of my most wanted and now in HD with that gorgeous score by Jerry Goldsmith I've been listening to for years. Thank you again, Kino. Always the finest lineup of titles around!

From Joe Carnahan, the acclaimed director of Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The A-Team, The Grey and Boss Level, brings you into the world of Stretch, a Hollywood limo driver with a dark past. When Stretch (Patrick Wilson, Watchmen) is in need of some quick cash to pay back his debts to a notorious gangster, he takes a job with a billionaire client (James Badge Dale, World War Z) in hopes of a big payday. His client’s eccentricities soon escalate into a wild night of adventure, sex and danger, which begins to make the fate of returning to the mob empty-handed seem reasonable. With an all-star cast featuring Ed Helms (The Hangover), Brooklyn Decker (Just Go with It), Jessica Alba (Machete), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), Randy Couture (The Expendables trilogy) and TV legend David Hasselhoff (TV’s Knight Rider and Baywatch), you won’t want to miss out on this ride of a lifetime.

Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea), Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight), supermodel Paulina Porizkova (Anna), James Le Gros (Drugstore Cowboy), Michael Jeter (Open Range), Glenn Plummer (South Central) and Mickey Rourke (Sin City) star in this no-holds-barred, erotically charged thriller that packs a lifetime’s worth of action into one day. Casey Wells (Jane), a former shakedown artist from the mean streets of L.A., has gone straight—or so he thought. When his ex-partner-in-crime (Eckhart) appears one day with a mysterious suitcase, Casey’s comfortable suburban life is turned upside down. Suddenly, murderous drug dealers, a gorgeous, sexually voracious brunette (Porizkova) and crooked cops are trying to kill him. If Casey lives, he may wind up with hidden millions his old pal stole in a drug scam. But if he wants to survive until Friday, Casey’s going to have to revert to his old lethal habits. Written and directed by Skip Woods, the screenwriter of Swordfish, Hitman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The A-Team, A Good Day to Die Hard and Sabotage.

Unfortunate that most of these titles are PD in the USA. I would buy almost every one of the "peplum" films from the late '50s and early '60s if they were properly presented and at least cleaned up some. I have a lot of the titles on DVD but of course most of them are badly faded and look likes copies of a copy made from a VHS tape. I was really grateful to get Hercules in the Haunted World from Kino, it's beautiful and a really well done release. Revolt of the Slaves was another great KL release.

I've been asking for this title. Saw it a long time ago on broadcast TV....Been reading about it in a very good book called "Cinema 62", which asserts that 1962 was the Greatest Year in Movies

Wasn't Hugo Stigletz the name of a character in Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" ?
