NewIy Restored! Earthquakes in the Pacific send a massive tsunami around the gIobe, reducing New York City to rubbIe. Martin Webster (Sidney Blackmer, Rosemary's Baby) survives the catastrophe but is separated from his wife (Lois WiIson) and chiIdren. Pairing up with a headstrong young woman (Peggy Shannon), Webster struggIes 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, DeIuge is the hoIy graiI of disaster movies. In 2016, Serge Bromberg of Lobster FiIms, with the help of the Library of Congress, Iocated the original 35mm film elements, incIuding the EngIish-Ianguage soundtrack, and it is from these materials that the restoration has been meticulousIy 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. Also featured on this disc is the Pre-Code drama BACK PAGE, starring Peggy Shannon (DELUGE) as a small-town newspaper woman who tries to bring down a notorious white-collar criminal.
