The Brigand of Kandahar (Blu-ray) (Import)

Ronald Lewis (The Full Treatment), Oliver Reed (The Triple Echo), Duncan Lamont (The Scarlet Blade), and Yvonne Romain (Captain Clegg) star in Hammer’s The Brigand of Kandahar, a tale of derring-do set on the north-west frontier of the British Raj. Lieutenant Case (Lewis) is a mixed-race officer imprisoned for cowardice following a racially charged court-martial. Bitter and humiliated, Case escapes and joins forces with bandit leader Khan (Reed) in order to enact vengeance upon racist British commanding officer Colonel Drewe (Lamond), but risks Khan's deadly wrath when he falls for Khan’s sister (Romain). Directed by John Gilling (The Scarlet Blade), The Brigand of Kandahar is a rip-roaring classic of action and adventure.INDICATOR STANDARD EDITION SPECIAL FEATURESHigh Definition remasterOriginal mono audioAudio commentary with film historian Vic Pratt (2020)Hammer’s Women: Yvonne Romain (2020, 8 mins): profile of The Brigand of Kandahar actor by film historian Melanie WilliamsStephen Laws Introduces ‘The Brigand of Kandahar’ (2020, 9 mins): appreciation by the acclaimed horror authorAdventures in Filmmaking (2020, 20 mins): writer and historian Neil Sinyard examines the career and reputation of writer-director John GillingAfghan Ostinati (2020, 13 mins): appreciation of Don Banks’ score by David Huckvale, author of Hammer Film Scores and the Musical Avant-GardeOriginal theatrical trailerImage gallery: promotional and publicity materialsNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
