{"product_id":"the-flaming-urge","title":"The Flaming Urge","description":"The seductive power of fire draws two men into an unspeakable bond. Tom Smith suffers from an uncontrollable compulsion to chase fire engines to the scenes of searing infernos. He's a virtual slave to the sirens that lure him away from work and wreak havoc on his pathetic social life. Forced to move from town to town and job to job, Tom's secret passions make him feel isolated and alone until he finds work in a small-town department store owned by Mr. Chalmers, who happens to share Tom's fetish for flame. For a time, the two men indulge their impulses together, but when a serial arsonist strikes terror in the town, Tom becomes the prime suspect. Accused of pyromania, facing a lynch mob, and certain that his only true friend, Mr. Chalmers, is the real culprit, Tom desperately seeks escape from the heat closing in.\u003cp\u003eProduced independently in Monroe, Michigan, \u003ci\u003eThe Flaming Urge\u003c\/i\u003e features Harold Lloyd, Jr. in one of his few leading roles. The son of the great silent comedian, he spent his whole life in his beloved father's shadow, tormented by chronic alcoholism and masochistic homosexual urges. Best remembered for his appearance in the drive-in classic \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (1958), Lloyd had just finished filming \u003ci\u003eMutiny in Outer Space\u003c\/i\u003e in 1965 when he suffered a massive stroke at the young age of 34. He died six years later. Ingenue Cathy Downs brings a smoldering sensuality to her role as the girl in love with the compulsive firebug. She played the title character in John Ford's \u003ci\u003eMy Darling Clementine\u003c\/i\u003e (1946) and later starred in such fifties sci-fi classics as \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom from 10,000 Leagues\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), \u003ci\u003eThe She Creature\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Colossal Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) and \u003ci\u003eMissile to the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e (1959).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45799894712470,"sku":"089218509390","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218509390.jpg?v=1762117530","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/the-flaming-urge","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
