“Act of Violence” is a pretty good noir film that deals with some surprising post-war issues. Fred Zinnemann directs the great Robert Ryan, Van Heflin, Janet Leigh, and Mary Astor in the film which Warner Archive has given a Blu-ray release.
Featuring an intro from Peckinpah scholar Garner Simmons!
The Wild Bunch is arguably the best film made by maverick filmmaker Sam Peckinpah. It is certainly one of the greatest Westerns ever made. The Warner Blu-ray is dated somewhat, but is still an irresistible package for fans of the film.
House of Bamboo remains one of the best films from the Twilight Time label and from director Samuel Fuller. A beautifully shot noir in CinemaScope.
The Set-Up is one of the most tightly scripted and edited boxing dramas I have ever seen. This is a fantastic film starring Robert Ryan under the direction of Robert Wise.
