SUMMARY

3 ENGLISH-SUBTITLED BLU-RAY PREMIERES

A prison break, femme fatales and a genre-defining western: Robert Hossein (Rififi) was, both behind and in front of the camera, one of French cinema's great unsung stylists. Three of his finest genre exploits are collected here:

In The Wicked Go to Hell, two inmates (Henri Vidal, A Kiss for a Killer, and Serge Reggiani, The Leopard) join forces to stage a daring escape. In Nude in a White Car, a drifter (Robert Hossein, also director) is tempted into a night of passion by a pair of mystery blondes (Marina Vlady, 2 or 3 Things I know about Her, and Odile Versois, Passport to Shame). In The Taste of Violence a revolutionary kidnaps the daughter (Giovanna Ralli, The Mercenary) of a dictator to negotiate a prisoner swap with his two lieutenants Chamaco (Mario Adorf, The Italian Connection) and Chico (Hans H. Neubert, Der Richter von London).
