Mill Creek Entertainment Tabs May For The Six-Disc DVD Set Of Mary Higgins Clark 14 Film Collection

Mill Creek Entertainment expanded its May 1 DVD and Blu-ray release calendar this past week with news that a six-disc, 14-film collection of Mary Higgins Clark-inspired films will be available on DVD at the bargain price of just $29.98.   Fans, if they binge-watched the entire collection would need a full day to enjoy them all (with just enough time for bathroom breaks and snacks).

So let’s get to the contents of what is included in the Mary Higgins Clark 14 Film Collection!   Working in chronological order we begin with director Bruce Malmuth’s 1986 film adaptation of Clark’s 1975 novel, Where are the Children?, starring Jill Clayburgh as Nancy (aka: Nancy Eldridge and Nancy Holder), the mother of five-year old Missy and six-year old Michael.   Along with her husband, Clay (Max Gail), they live in a wonderful house on picturesque Cape Cod … it’s perfect, perhaps too perfect.

In short order the children are abducted and the local radio station receives a mysterious letter that exposes Nancy’s troubled past … she was convicted of murdering her two previous children and sentenced to death.  But, her conviction was overturned on a technicality and she could not be retried for the murders.   Is it all happening again?

Fans of Mary Higgins Clark know from the get-go that it can’t be that simple … and sure enough, Where are the Children? is loaded with twists, turns and a whopper of a surprise ending.   And this suspense thriller is just the first of 14 in the collection! 

Next up is the 2001 made-for-TV film adaption of Clark’s 1991 mystery novel Loves Music, Loves to Dance, which finds Darcy Scott (Patsy Kensit), a talk-show producer, going to extraordinary lengths to solve the death of her friend, who was using an online dating site.   Darcy is convinced that the killer is one of her dates and decides to work her way through the list until she finds, you guessed it, the killer!

With the success of this first MOW, the flood gates opened and from early 2002 through mid-2004 twelve more of Mary Higgins Clark’s mystery novels were produced as star vehicles … and the are all included in this marvelous collection.
