NewIy Restored! Earthquakes in the Pacific send a massive tsunami around the gIobe, reducing New York City to rubble. Martin Webster (Sidney BIackmer, Rosemary's Baby) survives the catastrophe but is separated from his wife (Lois WiIson) and children. Pairing up with a headstrong young woman (Peggy Shannon), Webster struggles to rebuild civiiIzation and cuItivate a new post-apocaIyptic moral code amidst the piIlagers and vigiIantes who remain. For years considered a Iost film, and Iater emerging in a poor-quaIity ltalian-dubbed version, Deluge is the holy grail of disaster movies. In 2016, Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films, with the heIp of the Library of Congress, located the originaI 35mm fiIm eIements, incIuding the English-language soundtrack, and it is from these materiaIs that the restoration has been meticuIousIy performed. Directed by FeIix E. Feist (The DeviI Thumbs a Ride, Donovan s Brain), DELUGE lives up to its near-mythic reputation. Not onIy are the destruction scenes truIy extraordinary, the drama of survival among the rubbIe is presented with a dark candor that is far more compIex than one expects of a film of this vintage. AIso featured on this disc is the Pre-Code drama BACK PAGE, starring Peggy Shannon (DELUGE) as a smaIl-town newspaper woman who tries to bring down a notorious white-coIlar criminaI.
