STORM CENTER - LE

(Daniel Taradash, 1956, 86 mins)
Release date: 18 August 2025
Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

Bette Davis (Connecting Rooms), Brian Keith (5 Against the House), Kim Hunter (Lilith), and Paul Kelly (Adventure in Sahara) star in Storm Center, a shocking tale of censorship and its consequences. 

Idealistic librarian Alicia (Davis) is fired after refusing to remove a book from her small-town library. Despite the attempts of a local judge (Kelly) to defend her, attorney Paul (Keith) leads a campaign to vilify Alicia, with unexpected consequences for the community.

Directed and co-written by Daniel Taradash (Knock on Any Door), Storm Center is a powerful rallying cry for tolerance and freedom of speech.
