Bernard Lee, Harry H, Corbett, Hazel Court, Paul Eddington and Conrad Phillips star in THE EDGAR WALLACE MYSTERIES VOLUMES 1 & 2. Edgar Wallace’s thrillers have been widely adapted for film and television – the most memorable of which is this series, made at Merton Park Studios during the first half of the 1960s. These first two volumes will be available as 3-disc sets on 30 July 2012, RRP £29.99 each.
Scripts are by both Philip Mackie (The Naked Civil Servant) and Robert Banks Stewart (The Human Jungle) and each volume benefits from a written introduction from Kim Newman.
With a noir-esque feel, THE EDGAR WALLACE MYSTERIES updates some of the legendary writer’s stories to more contemporary settings, blending classic B-movie elements with a sense of ‘Britishness’. Unseen for decades and freshly transferred from the original film elements specifically for this release these sets are must-have items for all fans of British crime dramas.
