Studiocanal Add Roger Moore & Marlon Brando Films To Cult Classics
The Man Who Haunted Himself and The Nightcomers set for 4KUHD Global release.
In April, Studiocanal will debut 2 star-studded 4K UHD as part of their Cult Classics Range. Psychological thrillers, The Man Who Haunted Himself starring Roger Moore and The Nightcomers starring Marlon Brando.
The Man Who Haunted Himself features Mr James Bond himself as you’ve never seen him before. Moore plays a businessman whose existence is reshaped by malevolent forces, a doppelganger! Directed by Ealing Studios alumnus Basil Dearden, a film that was Moore’s favourite role.
The Nightcomers stars Marlon Brando and was directed by Michael Winner. The film is described as an atmospheric, sexually charged feature in which the servant (Brando), whose disturbing, magnetic presence exerts a corrupting hold over the occupants of a country estate.
Synopsis
Harold Pelham (Roger Moore), a partner in a large electronics firm, finds himself in bewildering circumstances after recovering from a near-fatal car accident. What causes him to renounce his high business principles? Why do friends and colleagues repeatedly sight him in places he has never been? And why does Julie, an attractive girl he has seen only once, claim such an intimate relationship with him? Does Pelham really have a doppelgänger – or is he losing his mind?
