I was really happy to see that the films "Hangover Square" and the "The Lodger" (Both starring actor Laird Cregar) will be released on dvd along with a B film titled "The Undying Monster" on October 09, 2007.Film Noir fan watch out for it!

Any chance you can note which films are available on DVD? I spent a lot of time searching for titles without much success.

there's a link above to see what films are available on DVD. Many are not, unfortunately.

Oh my goodness! I strong suggest you add "SECONDS" with Rock Hudson. It is definitely film noir. Produced by John Frankenheimer, who also gave us "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE," starring Frank Sinatra. Back to "SECONDS". This is not a Rock Hudson/Doris Day lover movie. Storyline concerns a businessman (John Randolph) who is dissatisfied with his life. Via a friend (Murray Hamilton) he is directed to a strange company that changes people's lives. So John Randolph is turned into Rock Hudson in a gruesome-looking operation. Then he meets none other than an old man who runs the company played by Will Geer! Yes! Grampa Walton. :) So now the new John Randolph has a new life in Rock Hudson's body. As far as his wife is concerned, he died. SO now he does what he THINKS he always wanted to do. And so he is a painter and he meets a slick chick (Salome Jens). Then he meets a group of people at a party. It turns out they are all "seconds". Rock decides this life is not for him. It was not what he thought it would be. So back to the company and Grampa Walton who says, "These things happen. Sign this form, please." And immediately he is put on a gurney and taken to an operating room. Ya gotta see the movie to see what happens next. So, be careful what you wish for.

Hi Steve,
This is a great site and many thanks for it. Was wondering have you ever seen The Scarlet Hour directed by Michael Curtiz 1956?
I've been searching for it years and no sign of even bootleg copies out there. I'm a big fan of James Gregory who starred in it. Let me know if you if you have come across it. Cheers buddy.

Hello,

I've just stumbled across your amazing site. I have recently become a film noir fan, as a result from a detective fiction course at my university. Anyhow, I've added the site onto my blogroll- hope you don't mind!

I can't believe you haven't reviewed "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang". Why?

Last thursday, I saw a very old film noir (from 1936 actually) starring E.G Robinson and Humphrey Bogart. The movie is called "Bullets or ballots", directed by William Keighley. Have you heard about it? Very amazing: Robinson was the "good" and Boggie the "bad".
Last thing: I saw it in a theater in France. It was a special event organised by a club in my city...
