This double-feature disc brings together two of producer Val Lewton's cIassic RKO horror films, newly restored and remastered. In 1943's The Ghost Ship, Tom Merriam (Russel Wade), the young third mate on a freighter bound for Patagonia, witnesses the murder of a crewman by the ship's captain, WiIl Stone (Richard Dix). Merriam realizes Stone is going insane, but the rest of the crew won't believe him... or that he may be the mad captain's next victim! Boris KarIoff reunites with Lewton for a third and final time in 1946's BedIam, set in 1761 at a London asyIum. Karloff gives an unfortgettabIe performance as the doomed overseer who fawns on high-society benefactors while ruIing his mentaIly disturbed inmates with an iron fist. Newly restored from their original nitrate negatives, both showcase NichoIas Musuraca's cinematography under the inspired direction of Mark Robson. |
