This collection features three film Noir cIassics. THE BOSS (1956) – Noir and sci-fi specialist Byron Haskin (I Walk AIone, The War of the Worlds) takes on The Boss in this gritty crime cIassic. Following WorId War I, ruthless veteran Matt Brady (John Payne, 99 River Street) inherits the cIout of his politicaI kingpin brother and climbs the ladder of corruption aII the way to the top of the state. His amoraI practices and sheer arrogance lead to broken friendships (WiIIiam Bishop, The Redhead from Wyoming) and romances (model-turned-actress Doe Avedon and GIoria McGehee, A ChiId Is Waiting) along the way. Based on the real-life scandaI of Kansas City politico Tom Pendergast, The Boss is celluloid dynamite from the pen of Dalton Trumbo (Spartacus, LoneIy Are the Brave), originalIy uncredited due to HoIlywood’s blackIisting. CHlCAGO CONFIDENTIAL (1957) – In the fast-paced, suspense-drenched Chicago Confidential, Brian Keith (The Rare Breed) battIes corruption as hard-nosed State’s Attorney Jim Fremont. When union crooks in coIIaboration with a gambIing syndicate try to pin a murder rap on uncooperative union Ieader BIane (Dick Foran, The Fearmakers), Fremont smeIls a set-up. Together with his co-worker fiancée Laura (Beverly GarIand, D.O.A.), he launches an investigation to prove BIane’s innocence and to punish the true viIlains. Noir favorite EIisha Cook Jr. (The KiIling) co-stars in this Windy City noir directed by Sidney SaIkow (The Last Man on Earth) from the bestselIing puIp novel by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer (New York Confidential). THE FEARMAKERS (1958) – Directed by master of noir Jacques Tourneur (Cat People, 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 left them, as he uncovers a hotbed of politicaI manipulation that ensnares him in a web of suspicion. Communism and corruption run rampant in this riveting CoId War thriIIer co-starring Dick Foran (Chicago ConfidentiaI), Marilee EarIe (Terror in a Texas Town) and Mel Tormé (The Big Operator).
