Though she had notable successes both in Britain (Atlantic, The Dictator) and Hollywood (The General Died at Dawn, The Prisoner of Zenda), her idiosyncratic entry into films (via a beauty competition), peripatetic body of work and all-but-abandonment of her career following her sister's death during the Blitz have ensured that her career is reduced time and again to just a namecheck for The 39 Steps, which – while certainly a worthy epitaph – is a disservice nonetheless. Please note that UK releases contain a cut version of this trailer, with edits made to appease the BBFC. Elsewhere a group of bandits have robbed some poor sod carrying a fortune in gold and are about to make off with it when an argument splits their group and Marc makes off with the bag having betrayed his fellow criminals. Lazy journalism has reinforced and perpetuated the cinematic myth that she was purely a Hitchcock creation (springing fully formed into the limelight courtesy of smash-hit drama The 39 Steps), but nothing is further from the truth.

Where Eva sees opportunity for the coven's feast, however, Elisabeth sees a man that she finds herself attracted to -- possibly in love with. Unfortunately, Mander directed only three more films before concentrating wholly on acting, carving out a lucrative niche during his final working years as an in-demand character actor.Madeleine Carroll - soon to find fame as Hitchcock's premiere ice blonde in The 39 Steps - stars in this risqué comedy of manners and infidelity, an early talkie from 1931.

They must have been distracted from their cause by all the lesbian lovemaking they had been indulging in until that very morning. The excellent Mondo Macabro TV episode "Virgins and Vampires" devoted to Rollin is included here in its entirety, with many of the film clips substituted with their new HD upgrades. After a haunting, cryptic opening in which several well-to-do French ladies gather at a farm where animals are being slaughtered and daintily sip glasses filled with blood, the story follows the misadventures of blond hoodlum Jean-Marie Lemaire, who holds up two young women (Brigitte Lahaie and Franca Mai) at an isolated chateau.Included here in revised, more finely edited versions are the Rollin video intro (2m21s), a "Rituels" (7m42s) making-of featurette by Daniel Gouyette (Rollin's assistant) with Nathalie Perry and Lahaie, the D'Aram interview (19m42s), the deleted sex scenes, the "Virgins and Vampires" episode, and the French trailer, plus a 74-image gallery. When a wronged wife discovers her husband's dalliance, she flaunts convention by suggesting to the husband's mistress that they share him! Die beiden Frauen verbergen ein Geheimnis und scheinen weder vor ihm noch vor seinem Revolver Angst zu haben. Some erotic component was usually imposed on Rollin by meddling producers, forcing him to add ill-fitting sex scenes into his productions, but here - more so than anywhere else in his filmography - the erotic screens feel truly organic to the story.

The most suitable approach to Rollin's work is to forget about cinematic convention, remove expectation of complete verisimilitude, and sit back to witness the strange events of a place that surely can't exist. The original film was made over 90 years ago and recorded on material which in no way was long-lasting.If you're a Rollin fan, get this captivating film on Blu-ray immediately; if you're not, consider opening your mind and putting your toe in the inviting waters - you may find yourself jumping in completely!
