New on Blu-ray: SECRET BEYOND THE DOOR... (1947) Starring Joan Bennett and Michael Redgrave

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Noir queen Joan Bennett (Scarlet Street) stars as Celia, a bored heiress who, while on vacation, meets a mysterious architect named Mark (Michael Redgrave, Dead of Night). They fall in love and are soon married and settled into Mark’s New England estate, where Celia finds herself seemingly suffocating within the spare yet surreal and terrifying confines of her husband’s mansion. As shocking secrets are revealed, Celia is determined to stay and find the cause of Mark’s strange obsession with murder—even though she must risk her own life to do so. Master filmmaker Fritz Lang (Metropolis, M, The Woman in the Window) makes an exquisite feast of a film noir by adding a dash of Daphne du Maurier and a sprinkling of Sigmund Freud to the oft-told legend of Bluebeard. Featuring Anne Revere (National Velvet), Barbara O’Neil (All This, and Heaven Too), Natalie Schafer (Female on the Beach), a spellbinding score by Miklós Rózsa (Spellbound) and chiaroscuro cinematography by Stanley Cortez (The Night of the Hunter).

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Two gripping and suspenseful WWII dramas directed by Lewis Gilbert (ALFIE, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME)!

THE SEA SHALL NOT HAVE THEM (1954): In Lewis Gilbert’s memorable and gripping WWII saga, four Allied men struggle to survive in a lifeboat on the North Sea after their plane is shot down. One of the men carries secret documents that can save London from Nazi destruction. In a daring race against time, will their rescuers save them before Nazi U-boats, stormy seas, exposure, and enemy-mined waters kill them?

ALBERT R.N. (1953): In this World War II drama based on true events, a group of British POWs suspects that there is a German spy in its midst after several escape attempts are foiled. Deftly directed by Lewis Gilbert and supported by Jack Asher’s moody cinematography, ALBERT R.N. stands beside paragons of the genre such as STALAG 17 and THE GREAT ESCAPE.

DVD & Blu-ray: THE NIGHT MY NUMBER CAME UP (1955) Starring Michael Redgrave

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The Chinese theory that life is pre-ordained and that dreams are a glimpse into the future prompts Commander Lindsay (Michael Hordern, Where Eagles Dare) to relate a dream he has experienced to his fellow dinner guests, including Air Marshal Sir John Hardie (Michael Redgrave, The Captive Heart). The dream involves a Dakota aircraft carrying thirteen people, one of whom is Hardie. The plane is lost over the sea, the radio fails, and fuel is running short when, through a break in the clouds, a rock-strewn beach appears and the plane crashes horrifically. Lindsay then starts to live out his nightmare as different pieces from his dream start to fall into place. Are these similarities just coincidences or did his dream foretell the disaster? Ealing Studios veteran Leslie Norman (Dunkirk, X the Unknown) directed this thrilling and mysterious adventure yarn co-starring Alexander Knox (The Psychopath) and Denholm Elliott (The Sound Barrier).
