Coming to DVD: Pete Walker's Home Before Midnight (1978)

One of Pete Walker's less-seen (and certainly more controversial) movies is coming to DVD for the first time (in the UK) in July, Home Before Midnight.

The subject matter is certainly where the controversy is. Songwriter Mike Beresford (James Aubrey) and his band, Bad Accident, is climbing the charts. he has money, a flash car and everything else success brings. But one day he offers Ginny (Alison Elliot) a lift home and they eventually become lovers. The trouble is Ginny is only 14 and when he eventually discovers the truth, he’s too deeply in love to give her up. It’s only a matter of time before Ginny’s parents (Mark Burns & Juliet Harmer) and the authorities find out.

The release is sourced from the original widescreen negatives and features booklet notes with a foreword by Pete Walker. Look out for it from 27th July for just over £7.
