Eureka Entertainment is set to release Cooper and Schoedsack’s THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, the 1932 American pre-code horror film starring Joel McCrea and Fay Wray, in celebration of the film’s 90th Anniversary. The film will be released on Blu-ray for the first time ever in the UK as a part of The Masters of Cinema Series, presented from a 2K restored scan. Available from 24th October 2022, the first print-run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase.
Based upon the ever-popular short story by Richard Connell, The Most Dangerous Game remains a hugely influential masterpiece 90 years after its release.
Big game hunter, Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea), barely survives a shipwreck in shark infested waters and washes ashore on the private island of the sinister Count Zaroff (played with a delightful zeal by Leslie Banks). Zaroff fancies himself an accomplished hunter also —only his preferred quarry, is man!
Taking full advantage of the lavish jungle sets created for King Kong; The Most Dangerous Game was filmed at night after filming for Kong had concluded for the day, with many cast and crew pulling double duty on both productions. After 90 years, it is still a thrilling piece of filmmaking – filled with stunning production designs, wonderful optical effects, and—of course—thrilling action. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Most Dangerous Game in its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a 2K restored scan.
