Yep, it seems the fine folk at Optimum Releasing have seen fit to provide us with a Region 2 release of Yvonne's 1961 gangster pic, 'The Frightened City', at last!!
Here's a link to their website's promotion:

For those who haven't seen it, it's a tale of corruption amid a setting of smoky London nightclubs.
Star of the show is boxer Sean Connery, who's pressured into becoming an enforcer in crooked accountant Herbert Lom's new crime syndicate. Yvonne plays the love interest, and looks great doing it, as gangster's moll and nightclub singer Anya.
'The Frightened City' is a decent, if not classic, Brit gangster pic, and is well worth a watch, especially at the reduced price available on Amazon, and similar sites
BUY ITTT!!
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (Terence Fisher, 1959)

A canine curse stalks the Baskerville heirs, its howl a death knell heard
from the foggy moors to the grandiose mansion where the current Lord
resides...

I've never seen this one, but as a Bond fan I'm always interested in anything featuring Connery.
