Richard Quine (Drive a Crooked Road) directs Pushover, a film noir classic featuring a top-notch cast including Fred MacMurray (Remember the Night), Kim Novak (5 Against the House), Phil Carey (The Long Gray Line), and Dorothy Malone (Convicted).Lona (Novak) is the girlfriend of a bank robber suspected of murder, and detectives Sheridan (MacMurray) and McAllister (Carey) are assigned to stake out her apartment, where each becomes dangerously fixated – Sheridan with Lona, and McAllister on her neighbour, Ann (Malone). Then Lona makes Sheridan an offer... to kill her lover and run away with her.With its themes of surveillance and obsession prefiguring Novak’s role in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Pushover is a triumph of suspense, and an acknowledged influence on Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless.INDICATOR STANDARD EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES High Definition remaster Original mono audio Audio commentary with film historians Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson (2021) Partners in Crime and Comedy (2021, 19 mins): author and critic Glenn Kenny discusses the careers and collaborations of director Richard Quine and actor Kim Novak Blunder Boys (1955, 16 mins): comedy short starring the Three Stooges, in which the trio play detectives assigned to the case of a justice-evading bank robber Original theatrical trailer Image gallery: publicity and promotional material New and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
