To celebrate the release of three cult classics newly restored in HD from 35mm elements, Kino is giving NitrateVillains the chance to win one of two triple-packs in your choice of blu-ray or DVD. Just go here and enter by next Tuesday, October 15 and you could win these three films (sorry, US entries only):
Orson Welles' biggest commercial hit was this suspense film about a woman (Loretta Young) who marries a guy with a past... a Nazi past! Welles and Edward G. Robinson co-star; if you've seen it in the usual dupey versions that have circulated for decades, this new version from 35mm will be a revelation. Bonus features include a commentary by Bret Wood, the complete version of Death Mills, the anti-Nazi documentary whose footage is seen within the film, and four radio broadcasts on WWII subjects by Welles.
Probably Ida Lupino's best film (and thus, by default, the best U.S. feature directed by a woman of its era), a tough, scary noir with William Talman, Perry Mason's Hamilton Burger, in the role of his career as a jittery, creepy hoodlum who takes nice guys Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy hostage. Once thought lost, now yours in remastered HD from 35mm.
James Whale pal Curtis Harrington directed this poetically creepy horror-fantasy with a young Dennis Hopper as a guy who falls for a carny who performs as a mermaid... or is it an act? Remastered in HD from 35mm with audio commentary by Hopper and Harrington and a bonus interview with Harrington.
