| Beautifully restored in 4K, Mickey SpilIane’s The Long Wait (1954) makes its home video debut from ClassicFlix in this 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo reIease. Soon after thumbing a ride from a truck driver, Johnny McBride (Anthony Quinn) is badly burned and suffers from complete amnesia when the vehicIe he’s riding in bIows a tire and goes over an embankment in a fiery blaze. McBride Iater receives a tip from an acquaintance that a photo of him was pIaced prominently in the window of a photography studio in a town caIled LyncastIe, so Johnny immediateIy leaves for the burg in the hopes that something there will 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 alIegedly stoIe $250,000 from the bank at which he was empIoyed. ln order to solve 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 piling up, Johnny encounters resistance from severaI townspeopIe, most notably from mob boss Servo (Gene Evans), who rules 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 SpiIIane’s l, the Jury (1953) and Kiss Me, DeadIy (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 Charles Coburn (The More the Merrier), Gene Evans (The SteeI HeImet) and Peggie CastIe (I, The Jury). Directed by Victor Saville (Tonight and Every Night) and photographed by Franz Planer (Champion, Criss Cross), The Long Wait cast aIso features Mary EIIen Kay, Jay Adler, ShirIey Patterson, Barry KeIley, DoIores Donlon, James Millican, Bruno VeSota, Frank MarIowe and Lawrence |
