Hollywood legends including Richard Widmark (Madigan), Victor Mature (My Darling Clementine), and Arlene Dahl (Journey to the Center of the Earth) meet the cream of British talent, including Diana Dors (Berserk), Jack Hawkins (Gideon's Day), and Christopher Lee (Jinnah), in Columbia Noir #7: Made in Britain, a collection of six film noir tales from five major directors: Mark Robson (The Harder They Fall), Terence Fisher (The Gorgon), Ken Hughes (Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang), Vernon Sewell (Burke & Hare), and Sidney Gilliat (Endless Night). Across the six films in this box set, a disaffected soldier hijacks a plane in order to pull off a gold bullion heist, a man faces the death penalty for his wife's death, a beauty queen stops at nothing in her rise to the top, a luckless boxer is lured into a world of mob violence by a femme fatale, an American G.I. battles mobsters in Glasgow and Liverpool, and an insurance man's chance encounter with an ex-lover leads to arson, blackmail. and murder. This essential six-disc collection contains three Blu-ray world premieres, three Blu-ray UK premieres, and features an array of fascinating contextualising extras, including newly recorded commentaries, critical appreciations, rare archival short films, and a 120-page book. Strictly limited to 6,000 individually numbered units.
