 Film Noir: The Dark Side of Hollywood DVD Set
The five films brought together in Kino's new specially priced box set are noir at its most exemplary. Though boasting stars like Joan Crawford and Henry Fonda and helmed by renowned directors, these five films are B movies in the best sense of the term: tight, raw and cannily devoid of gloss. Masters of the genre such as Budd Boetticher, Anthony Mann and the expatriated Fritz Lang are captured here in fine form, as are some of the greatest directors of black and white photography in the business (John Alton, RAILROADED; James Wong Howe, HANGMEN ALSO DIE). Throw in quintessential hardboiled character actors like Jack Palance (the cold-metal villain of SUDDEN FEAR) and Brian Donlevy, tough as nails floozies like Gloria Grahame (SUDDEN FEAR), and the inimitable lug Tor Johnson (BEHIND LOCKED DOORS) - and FILM NOIR: THE DARK SIDE OF HOLLYWOOD is an offer not to be refused.

 The Art Of Buster Keaton 11 DVD Box
