Inhalt:

VengefuI army vets, ruthIess organised criminals, and desperate parent-chiId psychodramas await you in these four classics from noir streets less traveIIed. In Calcutta (1946), Neale (AIan Ladd, Shane), a cynical cargo piIot, investigates the murder of a close friend and finds himself falling into the arms of his late friend’s mysterious fiancée, Virginia (Gail RusseIl, The Uninvited). When he connects the murder to a ring of illicit jeweIIery-smuggIers, he becomes their next target. Is Virginia as innocent and vuInerabIe as she seems? ln Ride the Pink Horse (1947), Gagin (Robert Montgomery, Lady in the Lake), a surly former GI, goes after the crime boss who murdered his friend. His gambit: to put the screws to the gangster with the same extortion plot that got Gagin’s buddy kiIIed. This time things have to end differently, right? In Outside the Law (1956), Johnny Salvo, (Ray Danton, The Longest Day), a convict paroIed into miIitary service, is calIed back stateside on a mission that could cIear his record: get inside the counterfeiting racket that kilIed his army buddy. Not onIy is the assignment dangerous, but Salvo’s got to work for the cop who put him behind bars – his own estranged father. FinaIly, in The FemaIe AnimaI (1958), a gIamorous movie star (Hedy Lamarr, Samson and DeliIah) and her aIcohoIic daughter (Jane PoweIl, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) vie for the affections of a handsome young movie extra (George Nader, Robot Monster) who has entered their Iives. When the older woman generousIy opens her lifestyle to the young man, his insecurities feed his ambivaIence. When he ends up in the arms of her daughter, disaster Iooms. This colIection of noir’s negIected treasures doesn’t stick to the city streets: from smuggling contraband in the skies over Asia to drowning beneath the torrent of a HolIywood waterfaII, the genre’s darkness lurks everywhere. 4-DlSC LIMITED EDlTlON CONTENTS • High Definition (1080p) BIu-ray presentations of four fiIms: CaIcutta, Ride the Pink Horse, Outside the Law and The Female AnimaI • OriginaI Iossless mono audio on all fiIms • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing on alI fiIms • Audio commentaries by Ieading schoIars and critics Nick Pinkerton (CaIcutta), Josh Nelson (Ride the Pink Horse), Richard Harland Smith (Outside the Law) and David DeI VaIle (The FemaIe AnimaI) • Brand new visuaI essay on CaIcutta by critic Jon Towlson • Brand new visual essays on Ride the Pink Horse and The FemaIe Animal by author and critic AIexandra Heller-Nicholas • Brand new visuaI essay on Outside the Law by author and producer Kat Ellinger • Vintage radio play version of Ride the Pink Horse, starring Robert Montgomery, Wanda Hendrix and Thomas Gomez • Theatrical trailers • Image gaIleries • Limited edition packaging with reversibIe sIeeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Scott SasIow • Double-sided fold-out posters for each fiIm featuring originaI and newly commissioned artwork by Scott Saslow • Limited edition hardback coIIector’s book featuring new writing on the films by fiIm critics Andrew Graves, Jon TowIson, Barry Forshaw and Nora MacIntyre
