Blu-ray Release: Hilda Crane

Blu-ray Release Date: May 22, 2018
Price: Blu-ray $29.95
Studio: Twilight Time


Written and directed by Philip Dunne (who penned the screenplays for How Green Was My Valley and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir), Hilda Crane (1956) stars Jean Simmons (Spartacus) as a twice-divorced woman returning from New York to her small-minded home town. There, she’s swiftly in trouble, pinballing between an aggressive French lover (Jean-Pierre Aumont) and a meek if nice local boy (Guy Madison) while the whole town talks.

The drama is highlighted by a gorgeous score from David Raksin (Laura), available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

An isolated music track, a featurette on Jean Simmons and an original theatrical trailer are among the bonus features.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to head over to the Twilight Time site or that of distributor Screen Archives NOW so you can put in your prebook order!
