Starring Dirk Bogarde (The Servant, Death in Venice) and directed by William Sylvester (Reach for Glory, ‘Gunsmoke’), the film boasts an outstanding supporting cast including Ian Hunter (The Adventures of Robin Hood, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Dinah Sheridan (The Railway Children, Genevieve), William Sylvester (2001: A Space Odyssey, Gorgo), Bryan Forbes (The Guns of Navarone), Bill Kerr (Gallipoli, Peter Pan) and Walter Fitzgerald (The Fallen Idol, Treasure Island).
Featuring brand-new bonus material and looking better than ever, the film is a welcome addition to the ever-expanding Vintage Classics collection.
