THE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE WITH OVER 6 HOURS OF NEW SPECIAL FEATURES

 

From writer/director Murray Markowitz comes the shocking Canadian true-crime drama inspired by one of the country’s most infamous homicide cases: I Miss You, Hugs And Kisses Blu-ray. When a former model (Elke Sommer of Baron Blood) is brutally murdered, her wealthy husband (Donald Pilon of The Uncanny) is arrested for the killing. The sensational trial that follows exposes a lurid web of illicit affairs, escaped serial killers, and shocking violence, anchored by a fearless performance from Sommer that helped land the film on Video Nasty lists.

 

Also known as Left for Dead and Drop Dead, Dearest, this 1978 Canuxploitation rarity co-stars Chuck Shamata, Cindy Girling, and five-time Canadian heavyweight boxing champion George Chuvalo. Featuring the very first film score by future three-time Oscar winner Howard Shore, I Miss You, Hugs And Kisses Blu-ray has been newly scanned in 2K from the National Archive’s only surviving 35mm print.
