Fantomas 1960s Collection (Fantomas / Fantomas Unleashed / Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard) (Blu-ray)

Pierre Souvestres Fantmas was originally adapted for the screen by legendary filmmaker Louis Feuillade (Les vampires) in 1913. Andre Hunebelle (OSS 117: Mission for a Killer) introduced a revamped and modernized version of Fantmas to the 1960s OSS 117 and 007 audience. All three films starred the great Jean Marais (Jean Cocteaus Beauty and the Beast) as Fantmas, a criminal mastermind and man of a thousand faces. The three films co-starred Louis de Funs as Le commissaire Juve, Mylne Demongeot as Helne, Jacques Dynam as Linspecteur Bertrand and Robert Dalban as Le directeur du journal. The first film, Fantomas (Fantmas), was released in 1964, followed by Fantomas Unleashed (Fantmas se dechane) in 1965 and Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard (Fantmas contre Scotland Yard) in 1967. All three films were beautifully shot in Scope, the first two in Eastmancolor and the finale in Technicolor.
