Classic Movies - Forgotten Noir - Vol. 5
I love classic movies, especially those I've never seen. VCI and Kit Parker films have released several new movies. I suspect most of these are public domain, although they have a renewed copyright notice on them for the "special contents" of this edition. Special contents include some interviews and commentary, a photo gallery, etc. Anyway just to review a couple of them... Well, the DVD has only two movies. FBI Girl, interesting title and it stars Cesar Romero, George Brent and Raymond Burr. Plot: a state governor hires Raymond Burr to steal a file from the FBI that has fingerprint evidence proving he previously was a wanted criminal. A clerk in the FBI office is killed, and Ceasar Romero is hot on the case. Pretty good flick release in 1951 by Jedgar Productions. "Tough Assignment" is the second movie on the menu..Plot: a newspaper reporter pursues a modern-day rustling gang whose "truck driving cowboys" are more dangerous than their horse riding counterparts. Well, the plot speaks for itself. Reminds me of one of those old Roy Rogers or Gene Autry movies where there's a mixture of cowboys, horses and modern vehicles. Anyway the quality is excellent on these movies and you can purchase them on The Nostalgia Merchant web site.
