IMPRINT FILMS NOVEMBER NEW RELEASES

Friday 9th October 2026 - posted by Eric_Cotenas

This November, three Limited Edition hardbox releases join the Imprint Collection, each pushing the boundaries of its own genre.

Showcasing the work of the gritty cinema master is DIRECTED BY… DON SIEGEL (1959 - 1969), a Blu-ray boxset centring the man known for his boundary-pushing action-thrillers. This special collection brings together four key titles in Siegel’s extensive filmography: Edge of Eternity, The Killers, Madigan, and Death of a Gunfighter.

Our TALES OF ADVENTURE series returns for Collection 13 (1938 - 1953), beckoning a wade into the depths with four oceanic voyages featuring smugglers, pirates, and treasure galore: Spawn of the North and, for the first time on Blu-ray, Sea Devils, Hurricane Smith, and A Perilous Journey!

Starring and written and directed by Orson Welles, the film noir masterpiece TOUCH OF EVIL (1958) also arrives in a premium release. With an enormous ensemble cast including Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, and Marlene Dietrich, this celebrated piece of cinema history was first released in a 95-minute cut that left Welles unhappy. It was then reconstructed to an 111-minute edit, bringing the film as close as possible to the original vision. This special collection includes the Theatrical Version, the 1998 Reconstructed Version, and a Preview Version, all in HD, plus two Booklets.

Seven Limited Edition releases from the 70s grace the Imprint Collection this November, including five worldwide Blu-ray debuts!

Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro return to our screens with NEW YORK, NEW YORK (1977), this time on 4K UHD + Blu-ray! This 4-disc Hardbox of Martin Scorsese’s previously sold-out musical classic includes a hardcover booklet, the Director’s Cut in 4K and on Blu-ray, and Blu-ray presentations of the European Theatrical Cut and a Special Features disc.

Romance soars at the height of the Cold War in THE GIRL FROM PETROVKA (1974), starring Hal Holbrook, Goldie Hawn, and Anthony Hopkins. As sparks fly between a U.S. journalist based in Moscow and a Russian ballerina, the KGB takes a keen interest.

The screwball comedy FOR PETE’S SAKE (1974) contrasts the gritty streets of Brooklyn with a joyful performance by Barbra Streisand, who plays the wife of a NYC cab driver finding himself in debt. She scrambles to find a way to pay the money back... away from her husband’s eyes and marriage vows.

Julie Andrews resembles real-life spy Mata Hari in the romantic musical comedy DARLING LILI (1970), which was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Original Song. Masquerading as a British singer, German spy Lili Smith’s mission goes awry when she must seduce a womanising American pilot.

Film star Sophia Loren and music star Adriano Celentano create an unlikely duo in the Italian comedy WHITE SISTER (1972), which mixes politics, church, and romance in a tale of a nun who falls in love with her Marxist patient.

The directing debut of Robert Bolt (Lawrence of Arabia), LADY CAROLINE LAMB (1972) is an epic drama that recreates a love affair and front-page scandal from 19th-century British high society.

Directed by Stanley Donen (Singin’ in the Rain), THE LITTLE PRINCE (1974) is a Hollywood retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic children-adult novella, starring two-time Tony Award winner Richard Kiley, Gene Wilder, and Bob Fosse.

Each title is strictly limited to 1500 copies only. Pre-orders open 15 October.
