ANOTHER PCASUK REVIEW AND GALLERY OF 'THE DEVIL'S MEN'
THERE ARE SEVERAL FEATURES on 'THE DEVIL'S MEN' to be found here on the blog about this film, which had the blessing of three or four titles different titles given to the film in different countries... 'Land of the Minotaur' / 'The Devil's Men' / The Devil's People'. It was covered in the UK with quite a lot of publicity in film mags at the time of it's release, but to actually get a screening was difficult. It came and went quickly. One think about this film was it had a lot of lolly spent of it's promotion and press materials, a beautiful set of thirty/ forty press stills in very nice matt finish colour and the lobby stills were excellent too.
AS I RECALL, Getty productions were hand in hand with the tourism and commerce where the film's locations were shot and really played to the beautiful landscape... the film spends considerable time waltzing around long pans and cut away landscape shots, and they are very impressive. The film DOES have a following, though it wouldn't make it to my fab five titles, there are many who would and do rate it. The fact that Indicator has gone to to their expert touch of giving the film a new 2K restoration from the original negative, makes it worth my order, to replace my personal tatty and grainy copy. The extras certainly make my order worth making too. I am sure Powerhouse will not disappoint, as their impressive record of great packages, extra bonus materials and remastering, prove their reliability and reputation of making a expected used tea bag, into a silk purse, and worth having! - Marcus
