Blood Orange Limited Collectors Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray (Region Free)

Eternal "amateur detective" Tom Conway – who over a long career in Britain and Hollywood starred as Sherlock Holmes, The Falcon, Bulldog Drummond and the famous Simon Templar – plays a wise-cracking private investigator in this slick crime thriller from director Terence Fisher. Co-starring Naomi Chance as a model with a secret and Richard Wattis as a dyspeptic police inspector, Blood Orange is featured here as a brand-new 4K restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
