Win In A Lonely Place Criterion Collection Special Edition Blu-Ray
We have 3 to give away.
To celebrate the exciting news that the Criterion Collection is finally coming to the UK, we're teaming up with Criterion to give our readers the opportunity to win a copy of some of the first wave of releases.
Having already unveiled a competition for Easy Rider, we're now giving you the chance to win a copy of Humphrey Bogart's classic 1950 noirish thriller. It's a must have for fans of classic cinema, and the new package makes it doubly so.
When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), in a revelatory, vulnerable performance becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (The Big Heats Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. The emotionally charged IN A LONELY PLACE, freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, is a brilliant, turbulent mix of suspenseful noir and devastating melodrama, fueled by powerhouse performances. An uncompromising tale of two people desperate to love yet struggling with their demons and each other, this is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, and a benchmark in the career of the classic Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without A Cause)
The beautifully packaged film comes with the following special features:
- New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack- New audio commentary featuring film scholar Dana Polan - Im a Stranger Here Myself, a 1975 documentary about director Nicholas Ray, slightly condensed for this release- New interview with biographer Vincent Curcio about actor Gloria Grahame- Piece from 2002 featuring filmmaker Curtis Hanson- Radio adaptation from 1948 of the original Dorothy B.Hughes novel, broadcast on the programme Suspense - Trailer - PLUS: An essay by critic Imogen Sara Smith

Competition runs until 18th June 2016.
