From the WAC site: "Douglas Hickox (Zulu Dawn) directs Oliver Reed and Ian McShane in a
brutal thriller about an escaped con with a new name on his hit list:
his faithless wife. For fans of Get Carter."
My interest in this film goes all the way back to 1998 when Tarantino ran it as part of his QT2 Festival. I did not get to attend said festival, but it put me on the hunt for this very elusive movie. Really hard-hitting and potent stuff with a dark Oliver Reed performance that rivals anything he's ever done.

From the WAC site: "Wife-killer Robert Mitchum reconnects with the witness who put him
behind bars years earlier: his son. A tale of revenge and redemption
with Brenda Vacarro and Jan-Michael Vincent."
This one was even rarer than SITTING TARGET and hard to find. Finally saw it via a TCM broadcast just this year. Tough to get through in parts, but so well acted by both Mitchum and Jan-Michael Vincent. Not a feel good movie by any means(as the synopsis suggests), but one that I found really stuck with me for days afterwards.

From the WAC site: "With a pistola hidden in his Bible and a crucifix that serves as a
switchblade, Robert Mitchum is a would-be U.S. priest on a surprising
Latin American quest. Rita Hayworth’s final film."
Another great late film from Mitchum. Also features a great turn from Frank Langella.
Director Ralph Nelson has done other films of interest as well (SOLDIER IN THE RAIN, SOLDIER BLUE, FATE IS THE HUNTER, THE WILBY CONSPIRACY & ...tick...tick...tick).

Wow, 3 amazing releases.
I just wish the Warner Archive's weren't quite so expensive to import to the UK.
