Glamorous leading ladies Ida Lupino, Joan Crawford, Esther Williams and Merle Oberon find themselves in dangerous situations in a new DVD collection of classic 1950s thrillers from Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and Universal Studios Home Entertainment (USHE). Released as part of the TCM Vault Collection, Women in Danger: 1950s Thrillers features four fast-paced, nail-biting thrillers.
Women in Danger: 1950s Thrillers will be available exclusively through TCM’s online store at http://shop.tcm.com, beginning June 4. The set features digitally remastered titles, along with extensive on-screen bonus materials such as photos, posters, lobby cards and more. The following four films included in the Women in Danger: 1950s Thrillers collection:
Woman in Hiding (1950) – Ida Lupino plays a newlywed who discovers on her honeymoon that her husband (Stephen McNally) wants to kill her.
Female on the Beach (1955) – Joan Crawford plays a recently widowed woman who begins to fear for her own safety after the suspicious death of a local resident.
The Unguarded Moment (1956) – In a rare dramatic role, Esther Williams stars as a high school teacher stalked by a possibly serial rapist.
The Price of Fear (1956) – Merle Oberon stars as a woman who frames a man for a hit-and-run, but is soon implicated in a far worse situation.
Previous Universal titles released include a pair of Marlene Dietrich dramas directed by Josef von Sternberg; a set of memorable Douglas Sirk films; a set of Pre-Code classics from the era before Hollywood began rigid self-censorship; a double feature with the 1941 and 1961 film versions of Fannie Hurst’s Back Street; and collections spotlighting such stars as Joel McCrae, Audie Murphy, Cary Grant, Fred MacMurray, Claudette Colbert, Barbara Stanwyck, Deanna Durbin and more.
