VCI has set an August 27th street date for the Blu-Ray and restored standard DVD release of And Then There Were None (1945).

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Agatha Christie’s world famous novel, Ten Little Indians, is brought to the screen with all of its baffling suspense and a star studded cast, headed by Academy Award winner Barry Fitzgerald.

Ten people, strangers to each other, are invited to a lavish estate on an island. Through a recording, their mysterious host accuses each of his "guests" of murder and proceeds to exact "justice." The tension mounts as, one by one, the number of people are reduced through the ingenious plotting of the unseen killer. Finally only two are left and each is uncertain as to whether or not the other is the murderer.

A top cast of veteran performers bring the intricate twists of the plot to life. One of the most novel and thrilling climaxes ever filmed brings the picture to its spine tingling conclusion. Match wits with the script as you watch a thriller that has carved its own special niche in the realm of tales of suspense and mystery.

Bonus features (below) will carry over from the standard release. Retail will be $24.99, but It is available at ClassicFlix.com for just $20.99.

A definitive film noir classic, Laura tells the shocking story of a Park Avenue society beauty murdered in her apartment, which brings Detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews) to New York's most elegant neighborhood. As he tries to get inside the head of the victim, Laura Hunt (Gene Tierney), he also questions the men in her life - the acerbic critic Waldo Lydecker (Clifton Webb) and playboy fiancee Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price).

Lulled by her stunning portrait, fine liquor and classical music, McPherson doesn't know he's in for a heart-stopping shock with the sudden appearance of a woman who seems to be Laura herself. Steeped in suspense, heightened reality and witty sophistication, Laura leads to a shocking climax.

More from the Republic library via Olive Films as they have announced Pursued (1947) for release on both standard DVD and Blu-Ray.

Streeting on August 21st, the debuting Blu-Ray will have a special pre-order price of $17.98 until Sunday.


Considered Hollywood’s first “western noir," Pursued was written by Niven Busch (Duel in the Sun) and co-stars Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) as Jeb, a man emotionally scarred by his tragic past and inner demons.

Judith Anderson (Rebecca) plays Mrs. Callum, a widow who rescues Jeb when he was a child and raises him as her own with her two biological children. Making Jeb’s life even more complicated is the fact that he and his adopted sister, Thorley (Teresa Wright, Shadow of a Doubt) fall in love with each other, while his adopted brother, Adam (John Rodney) has come to hate him.

Dean Jagger plays Grant, a one-armed stranger who seems bent on tormenting Jeb, Alan Hale plays Jake Dingle, a casino owner who becomes Jeb’s business partner and Harry Carey, Jr. plays Prentice, a young man in love with Thorley.

Pursued features gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by James Wong Howe, rousing musical score by Max Steiner (Casablanca) and great direction by legendary director Raoul Walsh (White Heat).
