NEW ~ MINISTRY OF FEAR (1944) ~ Fritz Lang Noir Gem -Blu-ray Indicator Region B

Description: Brand New still sealed in shrink wrap. Accidentally bought two copies. To be honest, I waited a long time to watch this one, even though I am a fan of Lang's work. I read many reviews saying the film was so-so. As it turns out, I found to be surprisingly top-drawer and would list among his best films. He was new in Hollywood and I think he was making a statement and not just dialing it in. Plus, the transfer and restoration are splendid and the special features are terrific and added a lot to my enjoyment and appreciation of the film. In particular, Neil Sinyard's and Toney Rayn's comments were particularly interesting. Top-quality package! THE MINISTRY OF FEAR (Fritz Lang, 1944) Release date: 14 December 2020 Standard Edition Blu-raySet during Blitz-torn wartime England, Ray Milland (Dial M for Murder, The Lost Weekend) stars as a man just released from a sanatorium who stumbles into an elaborate and murderous Nazi plot. Reminiscent of Lang's early expressionist films (The Spiders, Dr Mabuse the Gambler, M) and full of bravura set pieces and hallucinatory visuals, Ministry of Fear is one of Lang’s finest films – a mature and beautifully crafted thriller, and a vivid adaptation of Graham Greene’s celebrated novel.
