Blu-ray Review The Rock Hudson Collection – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

One of the most preeminent faces in the latter years of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Rock Hudson first rose to stardom in the movies of director Douglas Sirk, with his appearance in Magnificent Obsession (1954) affirming that status; today, he’s best known for the three romantic comedies he made with Doris Day, starting with Pillow Talk (1959) as well as earning his lone Oscar nomination for his performance in the George Stevens epic Giant (1956). Kino has assembled three adventure movies from his pre-stardom days for this release – ranging from a Florida Western (Seminole) to an Arabian Nights fantasy (The Golden Blade) and a British Raj adventure (Bengal Brigade) – all making their debut on Blu-ray here.

Thanks for the review. My favourite early Rock Hudson film is the charming comedy 'Has Anybody Seen My Gal', 1952 directed by Sirk. Really hope that KL will release this.

My favourite, and on my top ten favourite films ever list, is All That Heaven Allows, a gorgeous love story but also a wicked dissection of 50s American society and it’s hypocrisy. Plus a beautiful music score. Always has me blubbing at the end!
