THE RINGER

In the 1952 British thriller The Ringer, directed by Guy Hamilton, a notorious master of disguise known as "The Ringer" seeks vengeance against Maurice Meister (Herbert Lom), an unscrupulous lawyer believed to have caused the death of the chameleon's sister. Despite police surveillance, the chameleon infiltrates Meister's circle to execute his plot.

THE FRIGHTENED CITY

A cool British noir set in 1960s gangland London, THE FRIGHTENED CITY follows the story of a low-level criminal (Connery) who gets embroiled in a dangerous racketeering syndicate when he accepts a job from local mobster Harry Foulcher (Alfred Marks). A year before he was thrust into stardom as James Bond in "Dr. No", Sean Connery gave a spell-binding performance as the brooding, muscular Irish enforcer Paddy Damion with a streak of rakish charm, with electrifying support from Yvonne Romain as the beautiful gangster's moll Anya and from Herbert Lom as criminal mastermind Waldo Zhernikov.

Product Description: Lost in the African jungles for over a year, Dr. Charles Decker (Michael Gough, The Crimson Cult) has returned to England with Konga, a baby chimpanzee. Disappearing into his lab, the mad botanist begins work on what he believes will be his greatest achievement. Having witnessed a Baganda witchdoctor’s use of a rare carnivorous plant to produce accelerated animal growth, Decker injects Konga with the same serum—then hypnotizes the gorilla-sized chimp into brutally murdering his enemies! But when the berserk ape overdoses on the serum and grows to gargantuan size, suddenly the city of London comes under attack—and only the British army can reckon with Konga’s uncontrollable rage. John Lemont (The Frightened City) directed this monstrously enjoyable cult classic.
