On 18 February 2019, Indicator presents a genre-spanning quartet of London-set films, all starring, written and directed by some of Britain’s most celebrated and iconic talents, and released on Blu-ray for the first time.
First, two uncompromising thrillers from the more conservative half of the 1960s: Charles Crichton’s taut and powerful The Third Secret (1964), starring Pamela Franklin, Stephen Boyd, Jack Hawkins and Richard Attenborough; and Alexander Singer’s daring and provocative Psyche 59 (1964), starring Patricia Neal, Curt Jurgens and Samantha Eggar. Next, two films which explore sexual freedom as the ‘Swinging’ decade comes to a close: Jonathan Miller’s adaptation of Kingsley Amis’ Take a Girl Like You (1970), starring Hayley Mills and Oliver Reed; and Dick Clement’s film version of Iris Murdoch’s controversial A Severed Head (1971), starring Ian Holm, Lee Remick, Claire Bloom and Richard Attenborough.
Mastered from the finest available materials, each of these collectable limited editions contains an array of new and archival extra features, English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, and comes packaged with a limited edition exclusive booklet containing newly commissioned essays, contemporary reviews, and film credits.
