The American Genre Film Archive and Something Weird Video have been finalizing a brand new 4K restoration of William Morgan's noir thriller The Violent Years (1956), and a Blu-ray release is expected to be announced later this year.



The new 4K restoration will be screened in select theaters across the nation.



Included with this announcement is the first cover work that has been revealed by the labels, as well as a promotional screenshot from the restoration.



Synopsis: Paula Parkins is the teenage daughter of wealthy parents whom don't seem to make time for her, so she looks for thrills as the leader of her all-girl gang who steal, rob, and rape young men. Screenplay by Ed Wood. (The label has also confirmed that the film will be paired with Boris Petroff's crime thriller Anatomy of a Psycho).

"Well, what did you expect them to do - throw powder-puffs?"



Now just need a release of Girl Gang and I can put my Something Weird disc to bed! oddbox83 Aug 01, 2017 Please use the correct ratio! Plan 9 From Outer Space should be 1.85:1, but the BD of that was 4:3 with lots of dead space, I suspect this may be the same. Top contributor
