VCI Entertainment will be
giving director Joseph Losey’s 1951 film
noir thriller, The Prowler, a hi-def push on Feb. 3 with the release of a fully
stored Blu-ray edition.
In keeping with the
company’s recent look at marketing selective Blu-ray product offerings for the
collector’s market this makes a quite a bit of sense. This Van Heflin gem, co-starring Evelyn
Keyes as the object of his twisted affections, in a film noir in the
traditional sense and is one of those cult-like films that has grown in stature
over the years, especially with none other than Dalton Trumbo as the screen
writer.
Bonus features include
commentary by film noir expert and author Eddie Muller (“Dark City: The Lost
World of Film Noir”), three featurettes — “The Cost of Living: Creating The
Prowler,” “Masterpiece in the Margins” and “On the Prowl” — and a photo
gallery.
