Product description

Screen legend Charles Bronson (Rider on the Rain, Mr. Majestyk, Breakheart Pass) is Joe Martin, a quiet American living the quiet life in the South of France renting boats to tourists. He’s happily married to Fabienne (Liv Ullmann, Persona) and has a twelve-year-old daughter named Michèle (Yannick de Lulle). But this quiet man has a past… Ten years before, Joe (then Moran) escaped prison with four other convicts, Captain Ross (James Mason, The Man Between), Whitey (Michel Constantin, Violent City), Fausto (Luigi Pistilli, For a Few Dollars More) and Katanga (Jean Topart, Trap for the Assassin). After witnessing the sadistic ex-mercenary Katanga brutally kill a cop, Joe abandoned his accomplices and left with their getaway car. One night, his peaceful life comes to an end, when the four men re-appear and kidnap his wife and daughter asking the seasoned ex-military Joe to get involved in a shady smuggling operation to save his family’s life. Beautifully shot by Jean Rabier (Les Biches, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and wonderfully directed by James Bond veteran Terence Young (Thunderball, The Rover). Based on the novel Ride the Nightmare by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) and co-starring Jill Ireland (Assassination).

    5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding action by the great Bronson
    Reviewed in Canada on March 16, 2003
    i loved this DVD. James Mason does an outstanding job...one can't tell it's him until you look closely and see his cheek bones beneath the beard. Charles is at his usual best. the story revolves around a group of people who know Bronson's character (Joe). it seems that Joe had once been the driver for this group of militants but bailed out at the last minute and escaped while the rest of the men were hauled off to prison. Joe had since moved to another country and married a British woman (his wife, Jill Ireland) but seven years later, the gang has traced Joe's whereabouts and they're out for revenge! Bronson's great acting combined with his trademark grin while he makes one insult after the other to Mason and his crew are not to be missed. also not to be missed is the car chases through the mountains at top speed. the DVD i have shows the 1980's Bronson on the cover with the graying hair at the sides but the film actually came out in 1971. this is a great film and one of James Mason's most under-rated.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great early Bronson: The European years.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Not the best KL release, far far from the worst. Has optional English subtitles, a cool five-minute archival promo about car chases/stunts. Vastly superior to any previous release. Looks and sounds great - HD, but not a 2k/4k scan/remaster. You'll have really strain to find significant audio/visual faults. A great purchase!

    Directed by journeyman Terrence Young, best known for several Sean Connery 007 films and many other action films in a decades long career.

    Great European Bronson film (three of which directed by the aforementioned Young). A great reminder that Bronson is truly an underrated actor. (Don't get me wrong, I love his later cartoonist fare as well.)

    This gritty, straightforward, unpretentious, Charles Bronson hostage thriller relies on realistic, white-knuckled suspense to maintain its momentum throughout its tense 94 minutes. The international cast includes James Mason, Liv Ullmann, Jill Ireland, Michel Constantin, Luigi Pistilli and Jean Topart. This is a no-nonsense, muscular yarn with the agile, charismatic Bronson. Director Terence Young emphasizes raw brute force as a man has to contend with criminal associates from his shady past who want to balance the books for his treachery. When "Cold Sweat" came out in 1970, the British censors complained about its violence, particularly a scene where Bronson snaps a crook's neck without a qualm and then later on perforates a man with a flare pistol and turns him into a flaming shishkebab. Ostensibly based on Richard Matheson's 1959 novella "Ride the Nightmare," "Cold Sweat" depicts what happens when a group of unsavory thugs rupture the idyllic existence of Joe Martin. Scenarists Dorothea Bennett, Jo Eisinger, Albert Simonin, and Shimon Wincelberg have shifted the setting of the story from California to the scenic south of France. In the Matheson novel, Chris Martin had served as a getaway car driver for three bank robbers, but he abandoned them during the commission of a crime. The authorities arrested and sent them to prison. Meanwhile, Martin reformed, married, had a daughter, and found a responsible job as a music store owner. In "Cold Sweat," Joe Martin lives with his wife, Fabienne, and her daughter and operates a charter fishing boat out of the port of Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera between Nice and Monaco. Initially, Matheson had wrote "Nightmare" for an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" television episode.

    "Cold Sweat" opens with Joe Martin owns a deep-sea fishing boat and he is letting a client steer it into the harbor after a successful fishing expedition. Afterward, Joe gets into a poker game with some wharf buddies and wins a pile of dough from them. When he comes home to his wife, Fabienne (Liv Ullmann of Bergman's "Persona"), Joe learns that somebody has been constantly called them. Somebody throws rocks at Joe's windows and he sends Fabienne upstairs to lock herself up while he prowls around downstairs. Vermont ( Michel Constantin of "The Family")catches Joe by surprise and clobbers him. Fabienne finds Joe unconscious on the kitchen floor. Vermont holds gun on Joe after he recovers and demands that he take him on his boat to an undisclosed destination. Joe outfoxes Vermont, disarms him in the kitchen and then cracks his neck. Fabienne grows suspicious when Joe refuses to phone the authorities. She argues that Joe killed Vermont in self-defense. Later, she accuses Joe of lying to her.

    Joe fills Fabienne in on his shady past. He served in the Korean War as an army sergeant. His commanding officer, Captain Ross (James Mason of "Lolita"),was a good soldier in combat. When the military transferred them back to Germany, Ross missed the combat. Worse, he got into graft, taking kickbacks from service clubs and hijacking U.S. Army trucks. He sold the stolen goods on the black market. "Sometimes around his headquarters," Joe observes. "You couldn't tell the Mafia from the army." later, Joe ran into Ross in the stockade again because Ross had made 'a pig of himself' with his larcenous exploits. Joe was in the stockade because he struck a 'chicken' colonel when he got drunk. Ross invited Joe to join himself, Vermont and Fausto (Luigi Pistilli of "Eagles Over London") in an escape effort. Ross knew Joe was a good driver. Unfortunately, during their break-out, the former Foreign Legion soldier who furnished them with new clothes and a car, Katanga (Jean Topart of "Action Man")stabbed a German bicycle cop to death with a knife. The policeman had demanded to inspect their papers. Joe seized the car and left Ross and company to take the rap. Each drew a twenty year stretch in prison, and Joe would have gotten ten years. Vermont had finished seven years when he broke out and tracked down Joe.

    Fabienne and Joe cruise out to a desolate stretch of road and pitch Vermont's corpse into the gorge. When they return home, they find Ross, Fausto, and a machine-gun wielding Katanga awaiting them. Ross keeps Fabienne at home and sends Katanga and Joe off in the charter boat to pick up a cache of opium from a Turkish ship. Joe gets the drop on Katanga and knocks him out. Meanwhile, Joe picks up Ross's girlfriend, Moira (sexy Jill Ireland) at the airport, punches out Fausto, and stashes her at a remote cabin.When he gets back, Joe discovers that Ross has kidnapped his step-daughter. Katanga recovers. Joe takes Ross and company to the cabin where he left Moria. When it looks like they have worked out their differences, Ross signals Katanga to open fire on the car that Fabienne is driving with her daughter. Joe and the former Legioneer struggle and Katanga accidentally kills Fausto and shoots Ross in the belly. Joe has to fetch a doctor for Ross before the villain loses too much blood and dies. Joe has to race back with the girlfriend and the doctor before Katanga kills Fabienne and his step-daughter.

    "Cold Sweat" qualifies as above-average with Bronson outsmarting both the criminals and the authorities. Although it is a pared down nail-biter that focuses on a small group of characters, this brisk thriller conjures up several twists and turns that keep the protagonist and his adversaries from taking things slow and easy. The biggest set-piece is a careening auto chase between our hero and two French motorcycle cops along a mountainside road with Bronson swerving recklessly around cars and trucks. Veteran stunt driver Rémy Julienne (he worked on tons of Alain Delon films) stages some fantastic tire-screeching scenes with a credible Bronson at the wheel. Keep in mind this film was released after Bullitt and before The French Connection.

    Another novel charm of "Cold Sweat" is the off-beat casting of British actor James Mason as a drawling southerner and actress Liv Ullumann as Bronson's love interest.

    One of The Lesser Known Charles Bronson films is olso one of The best Directed by Terence Young who Directed some of The earlier classic James Bond films you know you are in safe hands. This one sees Bronson The way we like To see Him protecting The ones he loves and doing what is right. The Legendary James Mason in a bit of first rate casting is The Heavy who lures Bronson into is latest caper naturally when he refuses is wife and young step daughter come under Threat. Like many other Charles Bronson movies Bronson's real life wife Jill Ireland is olso featured Though in This one her role is pretty Thin Still Ireland is always Dependable and she makes The most of her role. The female lead in This one is Liv Ullman who offers strong support alongside Bronson's character. we should olso give a mention To The young lady playing Bronson's step daughter in The film uncredited and as very little dialogue but manages To be calm and cool Throughout The entire movie. Cold Sweat comes with just The movie no extras are listed Though I have in The past owned previous releases of Cold Sweat This is one of The better prints of The movie it's an outdoor movie and it shows colours are rich as is The sound on The Disc. If you like exotic locations good car chases sailing boats Then This movie is for you and of course we should not forget our Hero The Imcompable Charles Bronson you know your in for a Good Time Five stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kino Lorber rescues this Bronson classic from Public Domain/VHS transfer hell!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Charles Bronson has always been my favorite actor since I was a kid while watching his films with my father. It’s not because he is, how can we put this eloquently, a wide range actor but more for the fact of his likable, quiet, tough persona. He didn’t have the looks of actors like Cary Grant or Clark Gable but he became box office sensation despite the odds against him, but it wasn’t an easy start.

    After appearing in a slew of big Hollywood films in the 60s in supporting roles (The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, etc), Bronson wanted to break out and become a headlining star. Heeding advice from a friend, he headed to Europe (where he was extremely popular) and made a number of lower budgeted films tailored to that market. Out of this European stint came Violent City (aka The Family), Someone Behind the Door, Rider on the Rain, Farewell Friend (aka Honor Among Thieves) and of course Cold Sweat. Since these films were not made by Hollywood Studios, many fell into public domain hell during the VHS era in America and a tidal wave of low quality, poorly transferred budgeted releases flooded the market. This would continue into into the DVD age and but slowly many of these films are finally their just due with some home video labels releasing long overdue quality DVDs and/or Blu-rays. This is where Kino Lorber comes in concerning Cold Sweat.

    I put off buying Cold Sweat for nearly 2 decades on DVD for the simple fact all the DVDs had the same crummy, VHS transfer that my old VHS had. Thankfully my patience paid off and Kino rescued the film, much like “Gold” starring Roger Moore, from public domain/VHS transfer hell. The widescreen print they cultivate their transfer from looks to be a French print (the opening and closing titles are in French) and it’s beautiful. I never saw how beautiful the French landscape looked through the murky transfers I’ve seen before!

    As for the film, let’s just say if you are a Bronson fan then this is a must. Like most of his so-called action flicks, it’s more of a suspense thriller with great action sprinkled in. James Bond veteran Terence Young (From Russia With Love, Thunderball) directs the film confidently and the action is fantastic (especially a prolonged speeding car chase). Bronson is also in top form, supper buff and actually stretching his acting chops more than his usual action performance.

    If you are a Charles Bronson fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this film, whether it is Kino Lorber’s Blu-ray or for the more budget conscience (like me) DVD. If you are hesitant because you already own an older DVD… do yourself a favor and throw that that muddy VHS public domain release in the trash. The Kino DVD is only $9.99 and the comparison is night and day. It was like watching a new film in my eyes!
