Hollywood legends such as Richard Widmark (Madigan), Victor Mature (My Darling Clementine), and Arlene Dahl (Journey to the Center of the Earth) meet the best of British talent, including Diana Dors (Berserk), Jack Hawkins (Gideon's Day) and Christopher Lee (Jinnah), in Columbia Noir #7: Made in Britain, a collection of six film noir stories from five great directors: Mark Robson (The Harder They Fall), Terence Fisher (The Gorgon), Ken Hughes (Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang), Vernon Sewell (Burke & Hare), and Sidney Gilliat (Endless Night).

In the six films in this box set, a disgruntled soldier hijacks a plane to carry out a gold heist, a man faces the death penalty for his wife's death, a beauty queen who will stop at nothing to reach the top, an accident-prone boxer who is lured into a world of mafia violence by a femme fatale, an American soldier fighting gangsters in Glasgow and Liverpool, and an insurance agent whose chance encounter with a former lover leads to arson, blackmail... and murder.

This indispensable six-disc collection includes three Blu-ray world premieres, three UK Blu-ray premieres, and a host of fascinating extras that put the films in context, including newly recorded commentaries, critical reviews, rare archive footage, and a 120-page book. Strictly limited to 6,000 individually numbered copies. INDICATOR LIMITED EDITION 6 x BLU-RAY BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES
