'Flame Over India' Announced for Blu-ray
Thu Mar 22, 2012 at 01:00 PM ETTags: VCI, Disc Announcements (all tags)
J. Lee Thompson's 1959 action/adventure also known as 'The North West Frontier' is slated for Blu-ray in June.
In an early announcement to retailers, VCI will be bringing 'Flame Over India' featuring Kenneth More, Lauren Bacall and Herbert Lom to Blu-ray on June 3.
It is the North West Frontier of India at the turn of the century. Captain Scott (More) is sent by the British Governor to rescue a five-year-old Prince and his American Governess, Catherine Wyatt (Bacall), when a rebellion breaks out amongst the tribesmen. Scott is instructed to take the child to safety in Kalapur, which is 300 miles away, on the pretext that while he is alive, no rebellion can succeed. They are forced to travel on an old and fragile train, but it soon becomes clear that the danger from the train is the least of their worries. Someone on the train is trying to kill the Prince.
Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $19.99.

'Genevieve' Announced for Blu-ray
Mon Aug 08, 2011 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, VCI (all tags)
Henry Cornelius' 1953 comedy is planned for Blu-ray this September.
In an early announcement to retailers, VCI will be bringing 'Genevieve' to Blu-ray on September 6.
A simply delightful romp, and easily one of the best-loved and most inventive British comedies of the post war era, which follows the exploits and misfortunes of two highly competitive friends as they race against each other in the famous London to Brighton car rally. John Gregson stars as a stiff-shirted lawyer, who gets baited by his boisterous friend (Kenneth More) to wager a bet on who will win the race. For support, the two car enthusiasts enlist the aid of their wives, Dinah Sheridan and Kay Kendall, who provide the glamour and much of the comic sparkle. Gorgeous color photography makes the beauty of the town and country scenes really come to life and a wonderfully inventive harmonica soundtrack by Larry Adler, keeps the movie's pace and everyone's spirits in high gear!
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, an uncompressed 2.0 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Photo & Poster Gallery and Documentary - A Profile of Genevieve (30 minutes): An amusing look at the madcap motoring movie - includes interviews with Dinah Sheridan (starring actress), Clive Donner (Film Editor), Christopher Challis (Director of Photography) and Larry Adler (Composer) as well as featuring the veteran cars themselves!
