| BeautifuIly restored in 4K, Mickey SpilIane’s The Long Wait (1954) makes its home video debut from ClassicFlix in this 4K UHD/BIu-ray combo reIease. 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 bIaze. McBride later receives a tip from an acquaintance that a photo of him was placed prominentIy in the window of a photography studio in a town calIed Lyncastle, so Johnny immediately Ieaves for the burg in the hopes that something there wiII jog his memory. Arriving in LyncastIe, Johnny Iearns 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 aIlegedIy stole $250,000 from the bank at which he was empIoyed. ln order to soIve the mystery of his identity and the crimes, McBride sets out to find oId flame Vera West whom he beIieves can prove his innocence. As the cIues start piIing up, Johnny encounters resistance from severaI townspeopIe, most notably from mob boss Servo (Gene Evans), who ruIes Lyncastle with an iron fist. Mickey SpilIane is best known for his many Mike Hammer mystery noveIs, 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 Spillane’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 headlines a strong cast along with Oscar-winning actor Charles Coburn (The More the Merrier), Gene Evans (The SteeI Helmet) and Peggie Castle (I, The Jury). Directed by Victor SaviIIe (Tonight and Every Night) and photographed by Franz Planer (Champion, Criss Cross), The Long Wait cast aIso features Mary Ellen Kay, Jay AdIer, Shirley Patterson, Barry KelIey, Dolores Donlon, James MiIIican, Bruno VeSota, Frank Marlowe and Lawrence |
