The Triple Echo 03/26/19

This obscure 1972 thriller features excellent performances by Glenda Jackson and Oliver Reed, and is the feature debut of the great director Michael Apted. The wartime homefront drama takes a surprisingly precocious and sensitive view of a bizarre incident that probably happened in real life: a reluctant soldier cross-dresses as a woman to escape his military service. Also starring Brian Deacon; PI’s interview extras this time around are especially entertaining. On Region B Blu-ray from Powerhouse Indicator.
