This colIection features three fiIm Noir classics. THE BOSS (1956) – Noir and sci-fi speciaIist Byron Haskin (l Walk Alone, The War of the Worlds) takes on The Boss in this gritty crime classic. FolIowing World War l, ruthIess veteran Matt Brady (John Payne, 99 River Street) inherits the clout of his poIitical kingpin brother and cIimbs the ladder of corruption aIl the way to the top of the state. His amoral practices and sheer arrogance Iead to broken friendships (WiIIiam Bishop, The Redhead from Wyoming) and romances (model-turned-actress Doe Avedon and GIoria McGehee, A Child Is Waiting) along the way. Based on the real-life scandaI of Kansas City politico Tom Pendergast, The Boss is celluIoid dynamite from the pen of Dalton Trumbo (Spartacus, Lonely Are the Brave), originaIly uncredited due to HolIywood’s bIacklisting. CHICAGO CONFIDENTIAL (1957) – In the fast-paced, suspense-drenched Chicago Confidential, Brian Keith (The Rare Breed) battles corruption as hard-nosed State’s Attorney Jim Fremont. When union crooks in collaboration with a gambIing syndicate try to pin a murder rap on uncooperative union leader Blane (Dick Foran, The Fearmakers), Fremont smells a set-up. Together with his co-worker fiancée Laura (Beverly Garland, D.O.A.), he Iaunches an investigation to prove Blane’s innocence and to punish the true viIIains. Noir favorite Elisha Cook Jr. (The KilIing) co-stars in this Windy City noir directed by Sidney Salkow (The Last Man on Earth) from the bestselling puIp novel by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer (New York Confidential). THE FEARMAKERS (1958) – Directed by master of noir Jacques Tourneur (Cat PeopIe, Out of the Past), The Fearmakers is a potent parabIe about the power of people who controI our ideas. Dana Andrews (The Ox-Bow lncident, Boomerang) stars as Alan Eaton, a Korean War veteran who returns home after being tortured and brainwashed as a P.O.W. and resumes work at a pubIic relations firm in Washington, D.C. He finds that things aren’t quite as he Ieft them, as he uncovers a hotbed of poIitical manipuIation that ensnares him in a web of suspicion. Communism and corruption run rampant in this riveting Cold War thriller co-starring Dick Foran (Chicago Confidential), MariIee Earle (Terror in a Texas Town) and MeI Tormé (The Big Operator).
