Garv’s Pick of the Week: Brighton Rock (Kino Lorber)
For the release week of May 5th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Brighton Rock [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: If you like your film noir with a British accent, this movie adaption of the Graham Greene novel, scripted by Graham Greene, should be right up your dimly lit alley.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Pool of London [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Here’s another British noir that seems to be more famous for its location photography than its story.
An Inspector Calls [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: This is the most celebrated film version of the often adapted J. B. Priestley play. This one stars the great Alastair Sim as the titular detective, who knows a lot more than he should.
A Thousand Clowns [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Here’s another theatrical adaption. This one stars Jason Robards (who also starred in the Broadway production) as an unemployed TV comedy writer.
The Mask of Zorro [4K UHD / Sony]: This funny, fast-moving actioner is quite possibly the best swashbuckler of the 1990s. While it has long been available on Blu-ray, you can now see it up to 4 times sharper.
