Cover art for this disc of THE MARK OF THE HAWK (USA/UK-1957) has a high-contrast repro of Sidney Poitier's face at bottom with a hawk above and to the left. Background colors shift from red-orange at top to olive green along the bottom edge.
It's part of the TREASURE BOX COLLECTION series: a gloss-finished booklet-type card stock sleeve within which the DVD is held in place on the left by a vertical midline slit in the paper. On the interior right hand page are photos of a dozen other TBC titles, such as the Rutger Hauer actioner BEYOND JUSTICE (Italy-1992) and COLD SWEAT (Italy/France/Belgium-1970), with Charles Bronson, Liv Ullman, Jill Ireland and James Mason.
Once the disc loads, a PLAY MOVIE screen appears. There are no other options. The DVD is encoded with eight chapter stops (#1 is opening titles), but to access these you must click through them from your remote, or if watching on a PC player (such as PowerDVD ) by right-clicking the mouse to open the program's option window.
During the title sequence, a black frame appears around the picture. This shrinks once the movie begins but is still visible as a thin line. Although a Technicolor movie, hues have faded from the source print. Not entirely colorless, but definitely not vibrant Technicolor. Dub isn't as crisp as a studio release and audio lacks hgh end due to a thick layer of filtering.
TREASURE BOX's transfer is watchable but far from perfect; packaging is as space-saving as it gets. 2.5 stars at best.

I have seen Eartha Kit live on stage in a London play and various TV performances, and very little of her charisma is apparent here. She plays the part of Rene the placating wife of a newley elected African councillor Obam, in an area ruled by a white government.
Sidney Poitier is likewise less charismatic and dramatic than he is in black and white films. He plays the part of Obam, an enlightened peacemaker, conflicting with his brother Amugu (Juano Hernandez) who is involved in an African rising to gain immediate independence by any means.
Stanley Baker in characteristic hard nosed role (Steve) leads the breakaway white group opposing the rebellion in their own way. John McIntire and Helen Norton play Bruce and Barbara Craig, American missionaries, transferred from China, caught in the middle together with Sandar Lai (Marne Maitland) part of an international delegation.
A Hawk is hung in the doorways of the Missionaries and the Governor as a tribal warning and drums echo through the trees, but this film is a cry for faith in the innate ability for all men to be brothers. A faith that the missionary is willing to and does - die for.
Although filmed at Ellstree Studios UK, and on location, in 1957, the film could be much older in spite of the action echoing recent troubles in areas such as Zimbabwe.
Eartha Kit sings a short lament, which should be for the film. But- bearing in mind that this was directed by Michael Audley from a story by producer Lloyd Young in the days before American Civil Rights, and the advent of Nelson Mandella in South Africa, it was probably a more significant statement than it appears to be today.
