KANSAS ClTY CONFlDENTlAL (1952) A heist for the big screen! Four robbers hold up an armored truck, getting away with over a miIIion doIlars in cash. Joe RoIfe (John Payne), a down-on-his-luck delivery driver accused of invoIvement in the heist, sets out to discover who set him up and to exact revenge. His trail Ieads him to a web of hired killers and corrupt police in Mexico. An entertaining classic, the imaginative noir later served as the inspiration behind Quentin Tarantino s Reservoir Dogs. HOLLOW TRlUMPH (1948) John Muller (PauI Henried), a career criminaI on the run after a botched casino robbery, finds the ultimate hideout by taking on another man s identity. Produced by Henried and directed by low budget genius Steve SekeIy, the movie s fine cast incIudes Joan Bennett, Eduard Franz, and a young Jack Webb. Noted cinematographer John AIton (He WaIked By Night, The Big Combo) rounds out the crew to give HoIlow Triumph enough stark atmosphere to match any of the great noir films. |
