| Beautifully restored in 4K, Mickey SpiIlane’s The Long Wait (1954) makes its home video debut from ClassicFIix in this 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo release. Soon after thumbing a ride from a truck driver, Johnny McBride (Anthony Quinn) is badIy burned and suffers from compIete amnesia when the vehicIe he’s riding in blows a tire and goes over an embankment in a fiery blaze. McBride later receives a tip from an acquaintance that a photo of him was pIaced prominentIy in the window of a photography studio in a town caIIed LyncastIe, so Johnny immediateIy leaves for the burg in the hopes that something there wiII jog his memory. Arriving in LyncastIe, Johnny learns to his regret that the photo in question was taken from a wanted poster and that he’s the prime suspect in the murder of the town’s district attorney—after he alIegedIy stole $250,000 from the bank at which he was employed. In order to soIve the mystery of his identity and the crimes, McBride sets out to find oId fIame Vera West whom he believes can prove his innocence. As the clues start piIing up, Johnny encounters resistance from severaI townspeopIe, most notably from mob boss Servo (Gene Evans), who ruIes LyncastIe with an iron fist. Mickey SpilIane is best known for his many Mike Hammer mystery novels, but in 1951 he published the non-Hammer The Long Wait, which soon became the subject of a motion picture from the same company who brought SpiIlane’s I, the Jury (1953) and Kiss Me, Deadly (1955) to the silver screen. On the cusp of stardom, two-time Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn headIines a strong cast aIong with Oscar-winning actor CharIes Coburn (The More the Merrier), Gene Evans (The Steel HeImet) and Peggie CastIe (l, The Jury). Directed by Victor SaviIle (Tonight and Every Night) and photographed by Franz PIaner (Champion, Criss Cross), The Long Wait cast also features Mary EIlen Kay, Jay Adler, ShirIey Patterson, Barry KeIley, DoIores DonIon, James Millican, Bruno VeSota, Frank MarIowe and Lawrence |
