Action-paced, international intrigue ensues when a Swiss bank president hires an American investigator to ferret out a group of blackmailers who have been terrorizing his clients in the 1976 thriller The Swiss Conspiracy.

Scanned in 4K from original 35mm archival elements, The Swiss Conspiracy is based on the popular novel by Michael Stanley and directed by Jack Arnold, best known for B horror/cult movie classics such as The Incredible Shrinking Man, Tarantula, Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space 

In the film, the aforementioned Swiss bank president taps a certain Dvid Chrisopher (David Janssen, S.O.S. Titanic) to handle the job. Chrisopher identifies four potential suspects, including the bank vice-president’s mistress, Rita (Elke Sommer, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number!). Adding to the intrigue are the suspicions of the Swiss Federal Police which complicates the investigation. When the bank pays the chief blackmailer in uncut diamonds, the ransom rendezvous results in a dramatic showdown in the snow-covered Alps and a shocking revelation.

The film also features John Saxon (Enter the Dragon), John Ireland (Red River), Senta Berger (Major Dundee) and Ray Milland (Dial M for Murder).

Here’s a breakdown of everything featured on the discs:

  • Full length commentary by Robert Kelly and Daniel Budnik
  • Visual essay, ‘A Three Dimensional Filmmaker,’ by Will Dodson and Ryan Verrill of Someone’s Favorite Productions
  • New Featurette by Ballyhoo Motion Pictures
  • Original Restored Trailer from 35mm archival elements
