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 CaIifornia noir written & directed by THE OUTER LlMlTS creator Leslie Stevens. Lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (THE TREASURE OF THE SlERRA MADRE), PRlVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness 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 WeIles) and Iead actress Manx were married at the time, and the film was shot in their home; severaI years Iater, Manx tragically committed suicide and her fragile spirit seems to hang over the fiIm.
