Sir Carol Reed takes on a movie about insurance fraud in sunny Spain — with a great trio of actors for 1963. Laurence Harvey scams an insurance company and looks forward to continuing to beat the system in a happy life of chicanery; Lee Remick finds her affections turning to Alan Bates, an insurance man who might also be on vacation, or might have come to uncover Harvey’s crime. How does Harvey hide out while waiting for the big payoff in Málaga? He buys a huge white convertible too big to fit through the streets!

Laurence Harvey in The Running Man (1963) will be available on Blu-ray June 18th From Arrow Academy
Over a decade after redefining the thriller with The Third Man, director Carol Reed returned to the genre with The Running Man. Reuniting with that film s cinematographer Robert Krasker (BAFTA-nominated for his work here), Reed goes in the opposite direction visually, framing the twisty plot in sun-kissed widescreen color.
Rex Black has successfully faked his death in a plane crash and escaped to sunny Málaga under a new identity, waiting for his wife Stella to arrive with £50,000 of life insurance money. It s the start of a blissful, trouble-free new life for the couple until Stephen, the insurance agent in charge of investigating Rex s death, suddenly arrives in town. Is he just holidaying in Spain, as he claims, or is he on assignment to foil Rex s scheme?

The star lineup sparkles in this witty, lighthearted tale of a gang of international schemers and cutthroats trying to — well, what they’re trying to do is all but irrelevant. John Huston throws his picture together like a party, for a droll ‘thriller’ that yields off-kilter comic riches. It’s Bogart, Robert Morley, Peter Lorre and Gina Lollobrigida, plus Jennifer Jones as we’ve not seen her before or since. Truman Capote’s sly, unbeatably hip dialogue — reportedly written on the fly — celebrates the underhanded ambitions of greedy fools everywhere.

It’s hardly 9 Am in Hollywood when a young man from TCM taps the microphone at the legendary Egyptian Theatre; his thick Georgia accent stands out in Los Angeles (TCM's headquarters are in Atlanta). The theatre is packed for the first showing of the morning. Everyone’s elbows are rubbing against one another and our knees are pressed against the seats in front of us - but where else can we see a 35mm print of Ginger Rogers (before she was The Ginger Rogers) in the 1933 screwball comedy Rafter Romance?
The TCM rep (whose name I forgot to write down) introduces legendary film critic Leonard Maltin, and like that The South of the United States and Southern California meet for the love of celluloid (a little later Australia’s own Alicia Malone would also introduce a film,...

Chicago – What do Carol Reed’s beloved “The Third Man” and Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Marc Caro’s “Delicatessen” have in common? Almost nothing and yet I kind of love that they’re now linked in Lionsgate’s StudioCanal Collection because it illustrates the diversity of this increasingly-interesting wave of releases. They’ll never top The Criterion Collection, but it’s nice to have another series of timeless and modern classics making the Blu-ray market that much richer.

It’s rare that we can say something this squarely — Carol Reed’s “The Third Man” is one of the best films ever made. It’s one of those influential works that seems to constantly be in the film conversation, whether it be through a remastered print playing at a local theater, a new DVD/Bd release,...

The quality possessed by the films Studio Canal have selected for release on Blu-ray is undeniable, what is intriguing about the current crop of cinematic offerings is what they share. They are films which define their genre and time, and in these new versions they are treated with a serious love for their disparate elements as much as for the high standards of artistic success they achieve.
The Studio Canal Collection are releasing The Third Man, Mulholland Drive, The Graduate, Delicatessen and The Pianist on Blu-ray on the 13th of September and we’ll be reviewing these releases over the course of the week.
The Third Man concerns us with ferris wheels and Orson Welles, Vienna after the war and its ghosts. We have Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins chasing the spectre of his friend Harry Lime through subterranean labyrinths and vacant, shadows strewn streets as a mystery unfolds with clockwork efficiency.

Poisonous snakes, filthy water, a diet of whisky and a leading lady throwing up between takes . . . Anjelica Huston reveals how her father filmed his classic, The African Queen
Anjelica Huston is recalling her father's reputation for putting his actors through hell on shoots. "Basically," she says, "the one thing you had to do was take it well. My father admired anyone who actually survived it all. Usually, it was a test to see if you had: a) any bravery; or b) a sense of humour. Somehow, if you came out with either of those intact, you graduated."
Anjelica knows all about her father's approach, having acted in four of his films, but on this occasion she's talking about The African Queen, one of John Huston's best loved and most enduring films, which was made in 1951, the year Anjelica was born. The film's status as a classic has now been cemented by a full restoration,...
