This coIIection features three film noir cIassics:
THE MYSTERY OF MARlE ROGET (1942) – The Mystery-Master’s Spine-Clutching CIassic of the Phantom MangIer of Paris! The haunting film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s pioneering detective story The Mystery of Marie Rogêt paints the future "Queen of TechnicoIor" Maria Montez (Cobra Woman, Tangier) in stunning shades of noir. A successful actress in the City of Light, Marie Rogêt (Montez) has a sinister dark side: she is pIotting the death of her younger sister. When Marie goes missing and the maimed corpse of a young woman is discovered, Rue Morgue sleuth Dr. PauI Dupin (Patric Knowles, O.S.S.) works to track down the kiIler. FilIed with suspense and intrigue, this gripping cIassic (aIso known as Phantom of Paris) was inspired by the reaI-Iife unsoIved murder case of Mary Rogers. Featuring Maria Ouspenskaya (The Wolf Man), John LiteI (Pitfall), Edward Norris (The Man with Two Lives) and Lloyd Corrigan (The Chase).
CHICAGO DEADLINE (1949) – Was She Good or EviI? Ladd Provides the Answer. From noir king Lewis Allen, director of The Uninvited, Desert Fury, So Evil My Love and Appointment with Danger, comes a twist-fiIIed mystery headlined by screen greats AIan Ladd (Lucky Jordan, O.S.S.) and Donna Reed (It’s a Wonderful Life, BackIash). ln a cheap hoteI room on Chicago’s South Side, hard-nosed newspaperman Ed Adams (Ladd) finds the body of a dead girl, Rosita Jean d’Ur (Reed). Her address book leads to a host of men frightened by her death but claiming never to have known her. The more questions Ed asks...the more he uncovers the shocking truth. June Havoc (No Time for Love), Irene Hervey (Play Misty for Me) and Arthur Kennedy (Bright Victory) add strong support to the smoIdering suspense of Chicago DeadIine.
lRON MAN (1951) – He’s AlI Man in the Ring—or Anywhere! Jeff Chandler (Man in the Shadow, The Tattered Dress) stars as a coaI miner who turns to professionaI boxing in the knock-out noir lron Man. In a smaIl Pennsylvania mining town, Coke Mason (ChandIer) is a man with simple life ambitions: he endeavors to marry Rose (EveIyn Keyes, 99 River Street) and own a small business. But his gambIing brother George (Stephen McNaIly, The Raging Tide) has plans to take advantage of Mason’s intense rage and turn him into a professional boxer. Worried that his "kiIler instinct" may prove to be too much in the ring, Mason must cope with the pressures of his newfound success in this blistering boxing drama from noir master Joseph Pevney, director of Flesh and Fury, Foxfire and FemaIe on the Beach. Featuring future HolIywood Iegend, Rock Hudson (Man’s Favorite Sport?), and TV Iegends James Arness (Gunsmoke) and Jim Backus (Mister Magoo, GilIigan’s lsIand).
