How About a DVD Double Feature?

THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH (the Hammer Films remake of 1945's THE MAN IN HALF MOON STREET, based on the play by Barre' Lyndon) seems to be a forgotten fantasy-thriller. Often compared with Oscar Wilde's PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, this film rarely seems to get the same airplay on late night TV or on any of the "Shock Theatre" programs that many of the other Hammer horror hits did, and has yet to receive a home video release. With so much of the Hammer library now out on DVD, and since Paramount handled Hammer's distribution for this (as well as having produced the 1945 original), it would be nice to see the two films released to DVD as a double feature. (Much like the HOUSE OF WAX/MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM or the Frederic March and Spencer Tracy versions of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.)

Quiz
Hazel Court played the Anton Diffring sculpting scene topless. Only her bare back is shown in the British and U.S. versions, but her breasts are visible in the scene shot for European versions. It was one of the first nude scenes of its kind to be shot in England. They cleared the set and had just a skeleton crew. She said she agreed to do it because the scene warranted the nudity and it was shot beautifully. If had been gratuitous, she'd have refused.

Blooper
Christopher Lee's hairline raises and lowers from scene to scene.

Citazioni
Janine Du Bois: [about the disappearance of Margo] But that's terrible. What could have happened?
Inspector Legris: Quite a number of things could have happened, Man'selle, and it's up to me to find out the one that did.
