Accident
(1967) From Joseph Losey, the legendary director of "The Prowler", "The Servant," "Modesty Blaise," "The Go-Between" and "The Assassination of Trotsky," comes this classic melodrama with a screenplay by the great Harold Pinter. When one of his students is killed in a car accident, an Oxford professor (Dirk Bogarde) recounts the circumstances of their meeting. But as these turbulent memories unfold, they reveal a series of shocking relationships betrayed by adultery, obsession and self-destruction in which nothing is what it seems and everything has its cost. "Accident" was the second of three brilliant collaborations between filmmaker Losey and playwright Pinter; the first was the 1963 masterpiece "The Servant" and the third, the 1971 classic "The Go-Between." Stanley Baker, Michael York, Vivien Merchant and Delphine Seyrig co-star. Formats: DVD, Blu-ray. Extras: Audio commentary by film historian Kat Ellinger. (KL Studio Classics).
The Alastair Sim Blu-Ray Collector's Set
Though he is perhaps best known for his role as Scrooge in the 1951 film adaptation of "A Christmas Carol," Scottish character actor Alastair Sim is one of the best-loved and most prolific actors in classic British comedy. Often appearing in multiple roles, he starred in more than 50 films beginning in 1935 and was both critically acclaimed and unfailingly popular, regularly topping the cinema-goers popularity polls. This specially-curated set includes "Hue and Cry" (1947), "Laughter in Paradise" (1951), "The Belles of St. Trinian's" (1954) and "School for Scoundrels" (1960). The very first Ealing comedy, "Hue and Cry," directed by Charles Crichton, follows teenager Joe Kirby, who fantasizes that he's on the track of criminals, only to discover that it has all come true! After discovering that his favorite comic is being used as a means of communication between a master criminal and his gang of thieves, Joe sets out to alert the writer, played by Sim, and turn the page on the crooks. In "Laughter in Paradise," directed by Mario Zampi, famed practical joker Henry Russell leaves 50,000 pounds to each of his four surviving relatives. But his will has one last joke - they each have to undertake a task completely out of character within a month. As each sets out on their objective they find that quite apart from the promised riches, they are unexpectedly getting a lot out of the challenge. All except caddish Simon Russell, that is. "The Belles of St. Trinian's," directed by Frank Launder (scriptwriter for "The Lady Vanishes" and "Night Train to Munich"), features one of Sim's most unforgettable performances. In an all-girls school, where the unruly students are more interested in men and mischief than homework and hockey, the arrival of Princess Fatima of Makyad and the return of recently expelled Arabella Fritton inspire even more chaos than usual. Featuring an all-star star line-up, the cast includes Sim playing dual roles as both headmistress Miss Millicent Fritton and her twin brother (and Arabella's father) Clarence Fritton. Finally, in "School For Scoundrels," directed by Robert Hamer ("Kind Hearts and Coronets"), Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael) tries hard to impress but always loses out to the rotter Delauney. Then he discovers the Lifeman college run by "Professor" Potter (Sim) and discovers the secrets of success. But has he the courage to put all his lessons into effect in this comedy based on the Stephen Potter "One Upmanship" and "Lifemanship" books." Formats: Blu-ray. (Film Movement).

Teorema
(1969 -- Italy) One of the iconoclastic Pier Paolo Pasolini's most radical provocations, "Teorema" finds the auteur moving beyond the poetic, proletarian earthiness that first won him renown and notoriety with a coolly cryptic exploration of bourgeois spiritual emptiness. Terence Stamp stars as the mysterious stranger -- perhaps an angel, perhaps a devil -- who, one by one, seduces the members of a wealthy Milanese family (including European cinema icons Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti, Laura Betti, and Anne Wiazemsky), precipitating an existential crisis in each of their lives. Unfolding nearly wordlessly in a procession of sacred and profane images, this tantalizing metaphysical riddle-blocked from exhibition by the Catholic Church for degeneracy-is at once a blistering Marxist treatise on sex, religion, and art and a primal scream into the void.
Formats: DVD, Blu-ray Disc with new, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray.
Extras: Alternate English-dubbed soundtrack, featuring the voice of actor Terence Stamp and others; audio commentary from 2007 featuring Robert S. C. Gordon, author of "Pasolini: Forms of Subjectivity"; introduction by director Pier Paolo Pasolini from 1969; interview from 2007 with Stamp; new interview with John David Rhodes, author of "Stupendous, Miserable City: Pasolini's Rome"; an essay by film scholar James Quandt.
