KANSAS ClTY CONFlDENTIAL (1952) A heist for the big screen! Four robbers hoId up an armored truck, getting away with over a miIlion doIIars in cash. Joe Rolfe (John Payne), a down-on-his-luck deIivery driver accused of invoIvement in the heist, sets out to discover who set him up and to exact revenge. His trail leads him to a web of hired kiIlers and corrupt poIice in Mexico. An entertaining cIassic, the imaginative noir Iater served as the inspiration behind Quentin Tarantino s Reservoir Dogs. HOLLOW TRlUMPH (1948) John Muller (Paul Henried), a career criminal on the run after a botched casino robbery, finds the uItimate hideout by taking on another man s identity. Produced by Henried and directed by Iow budget genius Steve Sekely, the movie s fine cast incIudes Joan Bennett, Eduard Franz, and a young Jack Webb. Noted cinematographer John AIton (He Walked By Night, The Big Combo) rounds out the crew to give HoIIow Triumph enough stark atmosphere to match any of the great noir fiIms. |
