Town on Trial - Limited Edition

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureInvestigating a murder in a small English town, a brusque Police Inspector (John Mills –Hobson's Choice, Ice Cold in Alex, Young Winston) discovers that virtually everyone he encounters has something to hide. Setting the template for British crime thrillers for decades to come (including recent TV hit, Broadchurch),director John Guillermin’s audacious, often salacious, drama is untypical of mainstream British cinema of its time. An intelligent and gripping police-procedural thriller and macabre melodrama, Town on Trialis a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.Features:High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioThe John Player Lecture with John Mills (1970): archival audio recording of an interview conducted by Margaret Hinxman at London’s National Film TheatreNew interview with actor Elizabeth Seal (2018)An appreciation by film historian and journalist Barry Forshaw (2018)Adventure in the Hopfields (1954, 60 mins): John Guillermin's early film made for the Children's Film Foundation starring Mandy Miller (The Snorkel)Original theatrical trailerImage gallery: on-set and promotional photographyNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearingLimited edition exclusive booklet with a new essay by Neil Sinyard, an overview of contemporary critical responses, and historic articles on the filmWorld premiere on Blu-rayLimited Edition of 3,000 copiesAll extras subject to change
