Volume 5 of The Edgar Wallace Mystery series continues with 7 more films produced by Jack Greenwood and Merton Park Studios and an extra film THE MAN IN THE BACK SEAT produced by Julian Wintle and Leslie Parkyn for Independent Artists on 3 dual-layered discs. Compared to previous volumes, this one is especially heavy on film noirs. RICOCHET, THE RIVALS, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD and FIVE TO ONE has noir atmosphere. An extra feature, THE MAN IN THE BACK SEAT is especially exemplary British noir - a 55-minute ride to hell that could make a nice double-feature with Edgar G. Ulmer's Detour. The StudioCanal logo starts off each film. The films are progressively transferred in theatrical aspect ratio of 1.65:1. The anamorphic transfers looks excellent, with strong contrast and very minimal damage on the prints. Some films suffer from poor soundtrack and this is where the optional English subtitles would have helped. The extras on the third disc include an image gallery, pdf promotional materials and an extra feature - THE MAN IN THE BACK SEAT directed by Vernon Sewell. A 12-page booklet with notes on each film and insightful essays on the series by Kim Newman rounds off each volume. Discs are labeled as region 2, but are actually region free. |
