Movie Reviews of Ultimate Film Noir Collection (6pc)
Movie Review: Great Films, Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great buy for a collection of 18 film noir movies. There are lesser-known ones as well as ones that feature stars such as Orson Welles, Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra, Ida Lupino, Mickey Rooney, George Raft, Yul Brynner and Lizabeth Scott. A few of these I'd seen before (TCM), but most were unknown to me. I enjoyed all of them. The only thing I do want to warn people of is that these films are NOT restored, so they have been transcribed onto DVD format with all the flaws that occur to old film over sixty or so years in storage. Basically, sometimes the sound doesn't match or is hard to hear, there are poor editing sequences (keep in mind the low budget of most noir movies), some damage to the picture and crackling plus visible lines. I would like to see these films restored (I know some already have restored and preserved versions available, such as "The Stranger") but all of these issues are a minor inconvenience. If you are used to watching newer or only restored films you may find it annoying at first, but the movies themselves are a real treasure. My personal favorite is "The Man Who Cheated Himself", which contains some haunting footage of Fort Point in San Francisco, a full eight years before Hitchcock's "Vertigo". "Too Late for Tears", "Suddenly" (with Sinatra as a wannabe presidential assassin), "He Walked By Night" and "The Scar" are also new personal favorites. I can't recommend enough what a great deal this is for 18 really enjoyable movies.
