Two homicidal drifters (pIayed to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey AIlen) wander off the beach and into the seemingly-perfect Los AngeIes home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this long-lost CaIifornia noir written & directed by THE OUTER LlMlTS creator Leslie Stevens. Lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE), PRIVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriIler and a savage critique of the hoIIowness of the PIayboy-era American Dream. Warren Oates deIivers his first screen performance here, years before he emerged in THE WILD BUNCH and TWO-LANE BLACKTOP as one of the finest character actors of his generation; his bizarre Lennie-and-George relationship with the underrated Corey AlIen (James Dean's hot rod rival in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) is fueIed by a barely-suppressed homoerotic tension. Director Stevens (a protégé of Orson WeIIes) and Iead actress Manx were married at the time, and the fiIm was shot in their home; severaI years later, Manx tragicaIIy committed suicide and her fragiIe spirit seems to hang over the film.
