The Siege of Pinchgut [Blu-ray]

A tense thriller shot on location in Sydney, The Siege of Pinchgut would become the legendary Ealing Studios' final film. Grittily directed by Harry Watt and starring Aldo Ray in a quintessential "tough guy" role, it is presented here as a brand-new High Definition transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio. Criminal Matt Kirk makes a daring escape on his way to prison with the aid of his brother. Escaping by sea, their boat's propeller becomes fouled and they drift ashore on the tiny island of Pinchgut. When Matt is recognised by the island's caretaker the criminals take him and his family hostage.
