Wolf Larsen (Sebastian Koch) is the tyrannical Captain of the notorious seal hunting vessel, the Sea Wolf. While on the high seas, he takes on castaway Humphrey Van Wyden (Stephen Campbell Moore). But instead of abandoning him at the next harbour, Wolf puts the mild mannered literary critic to work and rules over him with an unyielding iron fist. Much to Wolf’s surprise, the graft transforms Van Wyden into a hardened adversary - every bit as formidable as Wolf himself. But it’s not until the appearance of Wolf brother, Death (Tim Roth), and Maud (Neve Campbell), the daughter of a rival ship owner that the dynamic truly explodes into life, leaving three men to war over love, duty, life and death. Inspired by the Jack London classic, Sea Wolf is a high-seas adventure and psychological thriller that will stir, inspire, and excite its fans like never before.

Part bawdy romp, part kitchen-sink drama, this box-office hit features then-rising star Victor Henry as a twenty-year-old window cleaner whose womanising is curtailed when he finds himself falling in love for the first time. Also starring Susan George and, in his film debut, Jack Shepherd, All Neat in Black Stockings' bold interlacing of sexual adventure, humour and tender love story instantly caught audiences' imaginations, its evocation of London's dingy back-street pubs and dubious characters marking it out as a cult classic. The film is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Ginger shares most things in life with his friend, Dwyer - including girls. Then, he sees the beautiful Jill - 'all neat in black stockings' - in a south London pub. Her obvious innocence moves him, and he feels unable to make his usual approach. He realises that she is not only desirable, but also something very special...
