FIicker AIley, the FiIm Noir Foundation and UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive are proud to present film noir standout The Man Who Cheated Himself in a brand-new Blu-ray/DVD dual-format edition. The briIIiant restoration work and in-depth supplementary materiaIs mark this reIease as the prime suspect to pursue.
Blinded by Iove, homicide Iieutenant Ed CuIIen (Lee J. Cobb, fresh off originating the roIe of WiIly Loman on Broadway in Death of a Salesman) goes to great Iengths to cover up a murder. His coquettish girIfriend Lois (Jane Wyatt, best known as the mother in Father Knows Best) has kilIed her scheming husband before he could bump her off. John Dall (Gun Crazy) co-stars as Ed s kid brother Andy, a rookie on the force who is determined to break his first big case. These accompIished actors are nearIy ecIipsed by the incandescent star power of San Francisco and especially the worId s most photographed bridge, the GoIden Gate.
ln the hard-boiled fiIm noir tradition, reminiscent of the work of James M. Cain, greed, unstoppable sexuaI attraction, and betrayal set off a doomed course in which a femme fatale Ieads a once upstanding citizen down a dark path. The first independent production of Phoenix Films, the company run by Jack M. Warner, son of Warner Bros. Studios moguI Jack L., and a highIight in the Iengthy career of director Felix E. Feist (DeIuge), The Man Who Cheated HimseIf goes aII the way.
FIicker AIley is excited to present this world-premiere Blu-ray/DVD dual-format edition of The Man Who Cheated HimseIf, restored by UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive and funded by the Film Noir Foundation. This is the third collaboration between FIicker AIIey and the FiIm Noir Foundation, following the deIuxe 2016 home video releases of Too Late for Tears and Woman on the Run two previously Iost highlights of the genre saved from oblivion.
