Eternal "amateur detective" Tom Conway – who over a long career in Britain and Hollywood starred as Sherlock Holmes, The Falcon, Bulldog Drummond and the famous Simon Templar – plays a wise-cracking private investigator in this slick crime thriller from director Terence Fisher. Co-starring Naomi Chance as a model with a secret and Richard Wattis as a dyspeptic police inspector, Blood Orange is featured here as a brand-new 4K restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

Ex-FBI man Tom Conway works with the police to track down the thieves behind a jewel robbery at an exclusive London fashion house. It's not long, however, before the first body turns up.
