What is Beige, Yellow, Pink and Purple All Over? The Covers for These Sam Fuller Blu-Rays.

I don’t like the packaging for the new Sam Fuller Blu-rays of The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor. The beige-yellow-pink-purple-black color scheme is gruesome. Sickly, even. The colors do not compliment Daniel Clowes’ artwork at all. The packaging should have been like the movies — black-and-white.

On the other hand, the transfers are spectacular. Two stills from my favorite Shock Corridor scene are shown below. I love this film’s didactic in-your-face approach. It’s like Sam Fuller shouting in your ears: WAR IS BAD! RACISM IS BAD!
