Across the six films in this box set, a disaffected soldier hijacks a plane in order to pull off a gold bullion heist, a man faces the death penalty for his wifes death, a beauty queen stops at nothing in her rise to the top, a luckless boxer is lured into a world of mob violence by a femme fatale, an American G.I. battles mobsters in Glasgow and Liverpool, and an insurance mans chance encounter with an ex-lover leads to arson, blackmail… and murder.

This essential six-disc collection contains three Blu-ray world premieres, three Blu-ray UK premieres, and features an array of fascinating contextualising extras, including newly recorded commentaries, critical appreciations, rare archival short films, and a 120-page book. Strictly limited to 6,000 individually numbered units.
