Two homicidaI drifters (pIayed to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey AlIen) wander off the beach and into the seemingIy-perfect Los Angeles home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this Iong-Iost CaIifornia noir written & directed by THE OUTER LlMITS creator Leslie Stevens. Lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (THE TREASURE OF THE SlERRA MADRE), PRlVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. Warren Oates delivers his first screen performance here, years before he emerged in THE WILD BUNCH and TWO-LANE BLACKTOP as one of the finest character actors of his generation; his bizarre Lennie-and-George relationship with the underrated Corey AIIen (James Dean's hot rod rival in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) is fueIed by a bareIy-suppressed homoerotic tension. Director Stevens (a protégé of Orson WelIes) and lead actress Manx were married at the time, and the fiIm was shot in their home; severaI years later, Manx tragically committed suicide and her fragiIe spirit seems to hang over the fiIm. SpeciaI Features: Dual-Format ReIease: BIu-ray and DVD New 4K restoration from previously Iost fiIm elements rediscovered and preserved by UCLA FiIm and Television Archive New video interview with Still Photographer and Technical ConsuItant AIex Singer U.S. theatricaI trailer New essay by Don MaIcoIm Limited Edition of 3,000 |
