***DISC ONE*** *THE MAIN CHANCE - Michael Blake has always had his eye on the main chance. A suave, ex-public school type, he seems oddly out of place in the company of small-time racketeers. Starring Grégoire Aslan, Tracy Reed, Edward de Souza and Jack Smethurst. Directed by John Knight. *GAME FOR THREE LOSERS - Robert Hilary is a public figure, a businessman and a politician. Happily married, Hilary still lets his desire for his new secretary get the better of him... Starring Michael Gough, Mark Eden, Toby Robins and Allan Cuthbertson.

Directed by Robert Lynn. ***DISC TWO*** *STRANGLER'S WEB - Police believed the murder of Norma Brent to be an open-and-shut case; her lover - a penniless scrap merchant - was discovered holding the ends of the strangulation cord over her lifeless body. Starring Griffith Jones, John Stratton, Pauline Munro and Gerald Harper. Directed by John Moxey. *DEAD MAN'S CHEST - It all began as a hoax, a stunt, a trick on the part of two cynical young journalists to spite society and thwart the Establishment. The idea was to expose the frailty of circumstantial evidence, and they planned to fake a murder. But the plan went disastrously wrong... Starring John Thaw, Ann Firbank, John Meillon, Peter Bowles and John Abineri. Directed by Patrick Dromgoole. *SPECIAL FEATURE - SEVEN KEYS - William Jefferson, an accountant serving a sentence for embezzlement, dies in a prison hospital just before the authorities can tell him of the death of his only son.

The last volume in the set only has 2 dual-layered discs. It features 5 last films produced by Jack Greenwood and Merton Park Studios and an extra film SEVEN KEYS produced by Julian Wintle and Leslie Parkyn for Independent Artists. 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 - SEVEN KEYS directed by Pat Jackson. 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. |
