The Brute (Blu-ray, 1977) NEW SEALED Sarah Douglas Julian Glover OOP

Description: Combined shipping available. In The Brute, Sarah Douglas gives a courageous performance as Diane, a glamorous fashion model trying to escape the brutal blows of her sadistic husband, fearsomely portrayed by Julian Glover. After a particularly savage attack, Diane leaves to stay with photographer friend Mark (Bruce Robinson) and his girlfriend Carrie (Suzanne Stone). Finding solidarity with other victims at a nearby women’s refuge, she aims to forge a new life alone, but her violent ex-partner is determined to track her down.
