Shock Corridor [The Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray] [2019]

In Shock Corridor, the great American writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller (The Naked Kiss, The Big Red One) masterfully charts the uneasy terrain between sanity and dementia. Seeking a Pulitzer Prize, reporter Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) has himself committed to a mental hospital to investigate a murder. As he closes in on the killer, madness closes in on him. Constance Towers (The Naked Kiss) co-stars as Johnny's coolheaded stripper girlfriend. With its startling commentary on r.ace in sixties America and daring photography by Stanley Cortez (The Night of the Hunter), Shock Corridor is now recognized for its far-reaching influence.Special Edition Features:New, restored high-definition digital transfer (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack)New video interview with star Constance Towers by film historian and filmmaker Charles DennisExcerpts from The Typewriter, the Rifle and the Movie Camera, Adam Simon's 1996 documentary on director Samuel FullerOriginal theatrical trailerPLUS: Il... - Manufacturers part number: CRITERION COLLECTION_CC1970BDUK
