Fate is the Hunter movie scene

Nancy Kwan and Glenn Ford investigate an airplane disaster in Fate Is the Hunter.

In May, Fate Is the Hunter, the 1964 mystery drama film directed by Ralph Nelson about the drama revolving around an ill-fated commercial airline flight, makes its Blu-ray debut from Twilight Time.

From the 1961 best seller by aviation author Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter details a horrific airplane crash and, in its aftermath, the desperate attempt to discover what brought plane, passengers, and crew to their fiery fate. Directed by Ralph Nelson, with striking black-and-white cinematography by Milton Krasner (All About Eve), Fate is a combination of disaster movie and mystery that interweaves the stories of a dogged investigator (Glenn Ford, 3:10 to Yuma)), the doomed pilot (Rod Taylor, The Time Machine), his bereaved girlfriend (Nancy Kwan, Flower Drum Song), and the tragedy’s sole survivor (Suzanne Pleshette, The Birds), building to a climax of breathtaking tension.

Bonus features included in Twilight Time’s Blu-Ray edition include To Whom It May Concern: Ka Shen’s Journey, a 2010 feature-length documentary on the life of co-star Nancy Kwan, directed by filmmaker and Twilight Time co-founder Brian Jamieson.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be prepared to pre-order this one directly from distributor Screen Archives NOW!
