BLOOD ORANGE (LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION)

Hollywood favorite Tom Conway - famed for playing Sherlock Holmes, The Falcon, Bulldog Drummond and Simon Templar - stars in this sharp-edged crime thriller from director Terence Fisher. Co-starring Naomi Chance as a model hiding dangerous secrets and Richard Wattis as a grumbling police inspector, Blood Orange has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives. Ex-FBI agent turned private eye Conway is called in to investigate a jewel robbery at an exclusive London fashion house. But when murder enters the frame, the catwalk becomes a crime scene - and the killer is still at large.
