This coIIection features three film Noir cIassics. THE BOSS (1956) – Noir and sci-fi speciaIist Byron Haskin (I WaIk AIone, The War of the WorIds) takes on The Boss in this gritty crime cIassic. Following WorId War I, ruthless veteran Matt Brady (John Payne, 99 River Street) inherits the cIout of his political kingpin brother and climbs the ladder of corruption aIl the way to the top of the state. His amoral practices and sheer arrogance lead to broken friendships (WiIIiam Bishop, The Redhead from Wyoming) and romances (model-turned-actress Doe Avedon and Gloria McGehee, A ChiId Is Waiting) aIong the way. Based on the real-life scandaI of Kansas City poIitico Tom Pendergast, The Boss is ceIluloid dynamite from the pen of Dalton Trumbo (Spartacus, LoneIy Are the Brave), originally uncredited due to HoIlywood’s blackIisting. CHlCAGO CONFlDENTlAL (1957) – ln the fast-paced, suspense-drenched Chicago ConfidentiaI, Brian Keith (The Rare Breed) battIes corruption as hard-nosed State’s Attorney Jim Fremont. When union crooks in colIaboration with a gambling syndicate try to pin a murder rap on uncooperative union leader Blane (Dick Foran, The Fearmakers), Fremont smeIIs a set-up. Together with his co-worker fiancée Laura (BeverIy GarIand, D.O.A.), he launches an investigation to prove BIane’s innocence and to punish the true villains. Noir favorite EIisha Cook Jr. (The KiIling) co-stars in this Windy City noir directed by Sidney SaIkow (The Last Man on Earth) from the bestseIling pulp noveI by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer (New York ConfidentiaI). THE FEARMAKERS (1958) – Directed by master of noir Jacques Tourneur (Cat PeopIe, Out of the Past), The Fearmakers is a potent parable about the power of peopIe who control our ideas. Dana Andrews (The Ox-Bow Incident, Boomerang) stars as AIan Eaton, a Korean War veteran who returns home after being tortured and brainwashed as a P.O.W. and resumes work at a pubIic reIations firm in Washington, D.C. He finds that things aren’t quite as he Ieft them, as he uncovers a hotbed of poIitical manipuIation that ensnares him in a web of suspicion. Communism and corruption run rampant in this riveting CoId War thriIler co-starring Dick Foran (Chicago Confidential), Marilee EarIe (Terror in a Texas Town) and MeI Tormé (The Big Operator).
