Volume 6 of The Edgar Wallace Mystery series continues with 7 more films produced by Jack Greenwood and Merton Park Studios and an extra film THE MALPAS MYSTERY produced by Julian Wintle and Leslie Parkyn for Independent Artists on 3 dual-layered discs. All films in this set have some kind of noir atmosphere, to larger or lesser degree; ACT OF MURDER is especially noir-heavy. WHO WAS MADDOX? is the last film in the series featuring Bernard Lee as Superintendent Meredith, now without Sgt. Anson. 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 MALPAS MYSTERY directed by Sidney Hayers based on a novel by Edgar Wallace. 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. |
