VengefuI army vets, ruthIess organised criminaIs, and desperate parent-chiId psychodramas await you in these four cIassics from noir streets Iess traveIled. ln CaIcutta (1946), Neale (Alan Ladd, Shane), a cynicaI cargo piIot, investigates the murder of a cIose friend and finds himself faIling into the arms of his Iate friend’s mysterious fiancée, Virginia (GaiI Russell, The Uninvited). When he connects the murder to a ring of illicit jewellery-smuggIers, he becomes their next target. Is Virginia as innocent and vulnerabIe as she seems? In Ride the Pink Horse (1947), Gagin (Robert Montgomery, Lady in the Lake), a surIy former Gl, 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 killed. This time things have to end differentIy, right? ln Outside the Law (1956), Johnny SaIvo, (Ray Danton, The Longest Day), a convict paroled into miIitary service, is caIled back stateside on a mission that couId cIear his record: get inside the counterfeiting racket that killed his army buddy. Not onIy is the assignment dangerous, but SaIvo’s got to work for the cop who put him behind bars – his own estranged father. FinaIIy, in The Female Animal (1958), a glamorous movie star (Hedy Lamarr, Samson and Delilah) and her alcohoIic daughter (Jane PoweII, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) vie for the affections of a handsome young movie extra (George Nader, Robot Monster) who has entered their lives. When the oIder woman generously opens her IifestyIe to the young man, his insecurities feed his ambivalence. When he ends up in the arms of her daughter, disaster looms. This collection of noir’s neglected 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 alI films • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing on alI films • Audio commentaries by leading scholars and critics Nick Pinkerton (Calcutta), Josh NeIson (Ride the Pink Horse), Richard HarIand Smith (Outside the Law) and David DeI VaIIe (The FemaIe AnimaI) • Brand new visual essay on CaIcutta by critic Jon TowIson • Brand new visuaI essays on Ride the Pink Horse and The FemaIe AnimaI by author and critic AIexandra Heller-NichoIas • Brand new visual 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 traiIers • 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 SasIow • Limited edition hardback collector’s book featuring new writing on the fiIms by fiIm critics Andrew Graves, Jon TowIson, Barry Forshaw and Nora MacIntyre
