GME PRESENTS DOUGLAS SIRK'S THE TARNISHED ANGELS ON BLU-RAY

This complements GME’s distribution of other key genre films, directed by such filmmakers as Ida Lupino, Richard Fleischer, and Curtis Harrington. Sirk was one of the major directors of melodrama during the 1950s, including MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION, ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, WRITTEN ON THE WIND, IMITATION OF LIFE. Based on a novel by William Faulkner (Pylon), THE TARNISHED ANGELS evokes depression-era New Orleans, enhanced by glorious black-and-white CinemaScope photography, Sirk's riveting chronicle of personal obsession, romantic longing and irreconcilable desires is one of the most noteworthy films to emerge from 1950s Hollywood.

GME STREAMLINE PRESENTS CURTIS HARRINGTON’S NIGHT TIDE STARRING DENNIS HOPPER

Harrington's debut feature, NIGHT TIDE (1961), stars a youthful Dennis Hopper in his first leading role, as a sailor who falls in love. Set in a seaside amusement park in Venice, California, Harrington blends a romantic mystery story with elements of film noir and the horror genre. The characters, locations, motifs, and themes present in Harrington's PICNIC (1948) – an amorous couple, parental authority, the seaside locale, the presence of sea monsters, and death – are transformed by Harrington in NIGHT TIDE from an experimental vision into a suspenseful narrative. The location photography by Vilis Lapenieks, the studio cinematography by Floyd Crosby (HIGH NOON, 1952), and the jazzy, melodic score by David Raksin (LAURA, 1944), all enrich the brooding atmosphere of the film.
