(aka "Lisboa")
Directed by Ray Milland
USA 1956
New HD master from a 4K scan of the original Trucolor negative! For Capt. Robert John Evans (Ray Milland, Premature Burial), smuggling black-market goods is nothing out of the ordinary. But he's hired by Aristides Mavros (Claude Rains, Notorious) for a more involved assignment - sneaking an imprisoned American (Percy Marmont, Secret Agent) out of communist-controlled territory. The dangerous job becomes even more challenging when he meets the prisoner's sultry wife, Sylvia (Maureen O'Hara, The Rare Breed). Ray Milland (A Man Alone) directed this thrilling adventure yarn which co-stars Yvonne Furneaux (Repulsion) and Francis Lederer (The Return of Dracula). Beautifully shot in Scope by Jack A. Marta (The Last Command). *** Filmed on location, Lisbon was the second directorial endeavor of actor Ray Milland. The story revolves around a Portugal-based American smuggler, Capt. Robert John Evans (Milland). Hired by attractive Sylvia Merrill (Maureen O'Hara), Evans agrees to sneak behind the Iron Curtain to locate Sylvia's husband Lloyd Merrill (Percy Marmont). It is understood that Evans is to bring Merrill back dead so that Sylvia can collect her husband's vast fortune, but the tables are turned on Sylvia and her wily co-conspirator, Aristide Mavros (Claude Rains). Put simply, the film is Casablanca and To Have and Have Not in reverse. Other participants in the film's various and sundry intrigues are Francis Lederer as the last-reel dispenser of justice, and Yvonne Furneaux as Rains' buxom mistress. |

Kino present "Lisbon" on a single-layered
Blu-ray
in 1080p advertised as "New HD
master from a 4K scan of the original Trucolor negative!"
The film is shown in the, original,
2.35:1 aspect ratio. The image quality is reasonably consistent, with
some inherent softness but speckles and a few instances of noticeable
frame specific damage (see last capture). It looks agreeable in-motion. |
