In addition to the Danziger Collection, Network have four new releases, set both at home and abroad, available this June... Collect those air miles with; star-studded drama Les Miserables (1989), the ITC version of the classic French novel; the 70's comedy Spanish Fly (1976), set on the Mediterranean island of Minorca; and the riotous feature film version of controversial TV series Whoops Apocalypse (1986), an outrageous satire of global politics. Or maybe you would rather stay at home with Hammer Films' The House Across the Lake (1954), an early dramatic jewel shot just a year before they made their name with the Quatermass Xperiment.
