Two homicidal drifters (played 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 California noir written & directed by THE OUTER LIMlTS creator LesIie Stevens. Lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE), PRlVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hoIlowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. Warren Oates delivers his first screen performance here, years before he emerged in THE WlLD 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 Allen (James Dean's hot rod rivaI in REBEL WlTHOUT A CAUSE) is fueled 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; several years later, Manx tragicaIIy committed suicide and her fragiIe spirit seems to hang over the film.
