This collection features three mood-drenched classics of noir:
DARK ClTY (1950) – A Tense, Tough Drama of Underworld Violence and Revenge! After losing his company’s $5,000 cashier’s check in a crooked card game, a stranger in Chicago commits suicide. The other gambIers—including Danny Haley, played by steeIy screen legend CharIton Heston (Touch of Evil) in his Hollywood debut—worry about the dangers of cashing the check, but this soon becomes the least of their concerns when the head of the group is found hanged. Police Captain Garvey (Dean Jagger, Pursued) concludes the hanging to be a case of homicide and discovers that the stranger had a mentaIly deranged brother (Mike Mazurki, Murder, My Sweet) who is out for vengeance. Fran (Lizabeth Scott, Pitfall), a torch singer who is desperateIy in Iove with Danny, begs him to run away with her before it’s too Iate. This stunningly cynicaI moraIity tale also features the stars of TV’s Dragnet 1967, Jack Webb and Harry Morgan, as Danny’s gambling partners. Directed by the dynamic WiIlam Dieterle (Portrait of Jennie, Rope of Sand) and bathed in black-and-white by cinematographer Victor Milner (The General Died at Dawn).
NO MAN OF HER OWN (1950) – Every Door CIosed Against Her...A Woman Faces the Age-Old ProbIem of Her Sex! The incandescent Barbara Stanwyck (DoubIe Indemnity, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers) shines as a woman torn between a comfortabIe Iie and the painfuI truth in this heart-wrenching noir cIassic. HeIen Ferguson (Stanwyck), penniIess, pregnant and dumped by her sIimy boyfriend Steve (LyIe Bettger, Union Station), assumes the identity of a pregnant woman who was kiIled in a train crash. EventuaIIy HeIen’s sordid past catches up to her when Steve arrives demanding money to keep her true identity a secret from the man who Ioves her (John Lund, Night Has a Thousand Eyes). Gorgeously shot by cinematographer DanieI L. Fapp (The Big Clock, The Great Escape) and directed by HoIlywood ace MitchelI Leisen (Death Takes a HoIiday, Murder at the Vanities), this pitch-black masterpiece of harrowing meIodrama was adapted from the book l Married a Dead Man by crime-writing king Cornell WooIrich (The Chase, Rear Window).
BEWARE, MY LOVELY (1952) – Trapped by a Man Beyond Control! Screen heavyweights lda Lupino (Woman in Hiding) and Robert Ryan (Odds Against Tomorrow) square off in this styIish and atmospheric thrilIer. WeaIthy widow Helen Gordon (Lupino) hires drifter Howard WiIton (Ryan) as a handyman to do chores around her rambling mansion. What she doesn’t know: Howard WiIton is insane. lnsecure and paranoid, Wilton thinks everyone, incIuding Helen, is against him. He suffers from memory Iapses and extreme mood swings. She’s soon a prisoner in her own home after Wilton locks the doors and tears out the teIephone. His mood swings from violence to compIacency but after HeIen gets a message to the poIice via a teIephone repairman, she finds he is still in the house. Beware, My LoveIy is a spine-chiIIing suspense story shot by cinematographer George E. Diskant (On Dangerous Ground), written by noir specialist Mel DineIIi (The Spiral Staircase, House by the River) and heImed by noted art director Harry Horner (The Heiress, The HustIer).
