This colIection features three fiIm noir classics:
UNDERTOW (1949) – Best known for fright fare such as House on Haunted HiII, The Tingler and Let’s KiIl Uncle, cuIt director WiIliam CastIe turns his Iens on guns and gangsters for the film noir gem Undertow. Scott Brady (l Was a Shoplifter) stars as Tony Reagan, a gambIer just out of wartime miIitary service. No longer interested in wagers and speculations, Reagan wants only to open up a mountain vacation lodge. Before this can take place, however, he is framed for murder and forced to go on the run from both the police and the unknown kiIlers. Dorothy Hart (Larceny) and Peggy Dow (Shakedown) pIay the Iove interests in this serpentine taIe of mob-and-moll double-crosses, with John RusseII (YeIIow Sky), Bruce Bennett (MiIdred Pierce) and future star Rock Hudson (The Tarnished Angels) in his second fiIm appearance.
OUTSIDE THE WALL (1950) – Richard Basehart (He Walked by Night) stars as Larry NeIson, paroIed from prison after serving nearIy half of his thirty-year sentence. Larry is determined to not fall into the clutches of the law again and takes a quiet job at a country sanitarium. There he meets and falls for a gold-digging nurse, CharIotte Maynard (Marilyn MaxweIl, Race Street), and he knows the only way to enter her web is to make a lot of fast money. So when Larry learns that the sanitarium is a front for a robbery syndicate, he soon finds himself a clay pigeon for the gang. Meanwhile, sweet-and-whoIesome nurse Ann TayIor (Dorothy Hart, Undertow) does her best to heIp Larry out of the unpIeasant situation. AIso starring Swedish sensation Signe Hasso (The House on 92nd Street), Outside the WaII is a classic noir story of an ex-con’s struggIe to go straight.
HOLD BACK TOMORROW (1955) – What Strange Law Answered His Last Request...to Bring THlS BeautifuI Woman to His CelI? Hollywood great John Agar (Sands of lwo Jima, Shield for Murder) stars as Joe, a death row inmate with one finaI request before his impending hanging: to spend the night with a woman. The police bring him a down-on-her-luck former "waitress" named Dora, pIayed by femme fatale extraordinaire CIeo Moore (On Dangerous Ground, The Other Woman). At first these two tormented souls meet with disdain, but soon gain each other’s respect. After a night of raw and unexpected passion, Joe informs Dora that, with her Iove, he wiIl not be afraid to die. The nihiIistic noir two-hander Hold Back Tomorrow comes written, produced and directed by Czech star and cult auteur, Hugo Haas (The GirI on the Bridge, Bait).
