Fritz Lang’s MOONFLEET Available on Blu-ray From Warner Archive

Great news for fans of director Fritz Lang. His 1955 western MOONFLEET is available on Blu-ray From Warner Archive

Adventure and intrigue await all ye who venture into the small and sinister village of Moonfleet on the windswept moors of Dorsetshire. Particularly as directed by master-of-menace Fritz Lang, this colorful tale of a young boy’s experiences among some really bad companions enthralls in the tradition of Kidnapped and Treasure Island. Here, young John Mohune (Jon Whiteley) arrives at his ancestral estate, now owned by the dashing, and mysterious Jeremy Fox (Stewart Granger). Out of love for the boy’s mother, but against his better judgment, Fox grudgingly allows John to stay. He soon becomes attached to the boy, but his devotion is tested when John discovers a hidden smugglers’ lair beneath the village graveyard and learns a shocking secret that could cost both him and Fox their lives.

Fritz Lang brings his remarkable gifts for scope and spectacle to this epic swashbuckler that teams plucky young orphan John Mohune (Jon Whiteley) up with the honorable, if piratical rogue Jeremy Fox (Stewart Granger) in a wild quest for diamonds. Catacombs, double-crosses, dead-men telling tales and more, all lie in wait for the unlikely pair of adventurers in this action/adventure classic that looks sea-swept fresh thanks to this simply sumptuous new 1080p HD transfer for deep blue sea Blu-ray Disc that highlights Lang and cinematographer Robert Plank’s lush visuals and Miklos Rozsa’s soaring score. Co-starring George Sanders, Viveca Lindfors, Joan Greenwood and Jack Elam. Includes Original Theatrical Trailer (HD) 16×9 Letterbox
