Indicator is the London-based Powerhouse Films' disc label, co-founded by John Morrissey and Sam Dunn, whose first spine-numbered release was Christine in October 2016. The catalogue leans on classic Hollywood, Columbia titles, Hammer, film noir and overlooked world cinema, sold as limited editions with booklets, new subtitles and extensive extras, later reissued as standard editions. US editions arrived in 2022 through Alliance Entertainment's Distribution Solutions.

Additional Info:
The older Studio Canal disc has incorrect pitch - 0.7 semitones lower than it should be. As their PAL DVD release was pitched correctly despite running at 25 FPS, it's likely they just took that master and slowed it down without accounting for that.

Video Notes:
Essentially the same characteristics as The Gentle Gunman but as the film is generally softer even in OCN-sections, it's not as drastic an upgrade

Video Notes:
The 88 Films 4K Blu-ray is disappointing. Indicator Blu-ray > 88 Films Blu-ray. From nicolas:
Fine master, solid HDR but very poorly encoded with strong blocking artifacts in normal areas and clipped highlights that bring Criterion’s Walkabout to mind. Their Blu-ray is slightly better overall but then again still not as good as FiM’s encode for Indicator.
