36 Hours [Collector's Edition 4K UHD+Blu-Ray]

Experience the early Brit Noir classic from Hammer Films, 36 Hours, presented in a meticulously restored 4K Collector's Edition. Hollywood tough guy Dan Duryea plays against type as an innocent man on the run in post-war London in this crime thriller from the early 1950s. Directed by B movie specialist Montgomery Tully and scripted by prolific pulp crime writer Steve Fisher, this edition also includes the American version, Terror Street, both painstakingly restored by Hammer from original film elements.
