STUDIOCANAL has announced the release of a brand-new 4K restoration of Ealing Studios’ classic drama, CAGE OF GOLD (1950), that will be available to own on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital from September 16.
Directed by the great Basil Dearden (The Bells Go Down, The Gentle Gunman), this stylish postwar set crime drama starring Jean Simmons (Guys and Dolls, Spartacus), David Farrar (Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room), and James Donald (Gift Horse, The Bridge on the River Kwai), looking better than ever and complete with brand-new extras, is the newest addition to the ever-expanding Vintage Classics Collection.
“The drama of a girl threatened by her past!”
Post-war London; 1950. Judith Moray (Jean Simmons) leaves her fiancé; the kind doctor Alan Kearn (James Donald), when a dashing yet roguish old flame, Bill Glennan (David Farrar), reappears in her life. Before long, Anne is pregnant and a reluctant Bill marries her before abandoning her the very next day when he learns that her father cannot offer him financial support.
Two years later, Jill - having been told that Bill is dead - marries Alan and they raise the child together. But when Bill suddenly re-appears, it can only mean trouble….
Produced by Ealing Studios, with moody cinematography from the great Douglas Slocombe, Jean Simmons' costumes were designed by Frederick Starke for her 21st birthday party and then reused in the film.
