Product Information
Originally released as a five-hour miniseries, this murder mystery based on the book by Dashiell Hammett (THE MALTESE FALCON, THE THIN MAN) stars Acadamy Award winner James Coburn (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN) as money-minded detective Hamilton Nash. Investigating a diamond heist that looks like an inside job, Nash is told of a supposed curse on the Dain family, said to inflict sudden and violent deaths upon those in their vicinity. Young Gabrielle Leggett-Dain, equally involved in a mysterious cult and a morphine addiction, soon turns up misisng, making her the most likely culprit. But her father has some skeletons in the closet, and nothing is what it seems in this strange, occultish family. Nash must untangle a web of robberies, spells, and human sacrifices before the final, shocking denouement. Also starring in this stylish noir are Jason Miller (THE EXORCIST), Hector Elizondo (THE PRINCESS DIARIES), Beatrice Straight (POLTERGEIST), Jean Simmons (SPARTACUS), and Paul Stewart (KISS ME DEADLY).Product Identifiers

DASHIELL HAMMETT DONE RIGHT..
An excellent adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's THE DAIN CURSE with James Coburn as Hammett's Continental Op, given the name Hamilton Nash here in a superb rendering of this complicated mystery. Not only that, but this is a completely uncut version of the mini-series. There have been television viewings of this series, but always with the middle 90 minute episode left out for some bizarre reason. But here, you get the whole series and a fine one it is. If you like Hammett (and who doesn't), you will really enjoy this from start to finish.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
