12. The Ultimate Film Noir Collection (5 DVD Set)
Description
Film noir - literally "black film" - is Hollywood's moody vision of a dark, shadowy, smoky underworld populated by beautiful-but-deadly dames and the regular Joes who fall for them. These films are literally black in that they often take place at night or in the shadows - or both.But they are black in other ways, too: Shady characters with no redeeming or "light" qualities; likable people who mean well but are pulled into the dark world of murder and mayhem; and plots that focus primarily on the darker aspects of man's nature.
Although films noir continue to be produced today, the heyday of these low-budget, high-tension pictures was from the early 1940s to the mid-1950s. Here are ten classic films noir that set the tone for countless "black films" that followed in their echoing, unsettling footsteps.
DISC ONE
SCARLET STREET (1945) - Starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea. Directed by Fritz Lang. A mild-mannered, henpecked bank cashier and amateur painter (Robinson) falls for a pretty face (Bennett) who figures he's a rich and famous artist, leading to his being taken advantage of by her greedy and scheming boyfriend (Duryea). (93 mins.)
DETOUR (1945) - Starring Tom Neal, Ann Savage, Claudia Drake. Directed by Edgar G. Ullmer. A Manhattan night-club piano player (Neal) hitchhikes to Hollywood to meet up with his girl friend (Drake). Along the way, he's picked up by a driver who winds up dead.

THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS (1946) - Starring Kirk Douglas, Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott. Directed by Lewis Milestone. A gambler with a dark past (Heflin) returns to his hometown to find that his wealthy ex-fiancee (Stanwyck) is now married to an alcoholic district attorney (Douglas in his film debut). The D.A. is worried that he and his wife are going to be blackmailed (since she's also a murderess), so he tries to use the gambler's sultry new friend (Scott) to get rid of him. (115 mins.)
WHISTLE STOP (1946) - Starring George Raft, Ava Gardner, Victor McLaglen, Tom Conway. Directed by Leonide Moguy.

DISC FIVE
QUICKSAND (1950) - Starring Mickey Rooney, Jeanne Cagney, Peter Lorre. Directed by Irving Pichel. A meek auto mechanic (Rooney) falls for a sexy - but scheming - waitress (Cagney), and is pulled into the dark world of crime by her ruthless boyfriend (Lorre). (79 mins.)
