The eternal amateur sleuth Tom Conway, who in his long career in Britain and Hollywood has played Sherlock Holmes, The Falcon, Bulldog Drummond and the famous Simon Templar, plays a witty private eye in this stylish crime thriller from director Terence Fisher. Starring Naomi Chance as a model with a secret and Richard Wattis as a dyspeptic police inspector, Blood Orange is presented here in a brand new 4K restoration from the elements of the original film in its original cinema format.
Former FBI agent Tom Conway teams up with the police to track down the thieves behind a jewellery heist at an exclusive London fashion house. But it's not long before the first body turns up.
