'Spaceways' Director: Terence Fisher (1953) Hammer Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray

Howard Duff (The Naked City) stars as a pioneering space engineer embroiled in murder and espionage in this early '50s Hammer space noir. Co-starring Hungarian screen siren Eva Bartok (Blood and Black Lace) and a very on-form Alan Wheatley as a bullish intelligence operative.

Stephen Mitchell, chief engineer on the world’s first space station, has the bad luck to be married to a gold-digging shrew. When an unmanned rocket fails re-entry at the same time as his wife and a fellow scientist go missing, Stephen is accused of killing them both and hiding their bodies in the orbiting spacecraft.
