Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

Gary Cooper (Morocco) and Ann Harding (Holiday) play star-crossed lovers in Peter Ibbetson, an otherworldly fantasy-romance from celebrated director Henry Hathaway (The Shepherd of the Hills).

Decades after they were separated, architect Peter Ibbetson (Cooper) and his childhood sweetheart, Mary (Harding), are reconnected when her husband hires Ibbetson to design a building. The relationship between the pair is rekindled until Ibbetson accidentally kills a man in self-defence and is sent to prison. Soon, he is visited by Mary in his dreams... 

A favourite of the Surrealists, including André Breton and Luis Buñuel, Peter Ibbetson boasts stunning photography from the great Charles Lang (The Big Heat) and acting support from John Halliday (Desire) and Ida Lupino (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes).
