 Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 2 (Born to Kill / Clash by Night / Crossfire / Dillinger (1945) / The Narrow Margin (1952))
Film noir is such a rich cinematic zone that second-tier specimens compel nearly as much fascination as the classics.
The film was not restored, but did show short segments of negative wear once in a while, but nothing too distracting from the overall presentation.
This film is about a real life bank robber John Dillinger who is arguably the most notorious robber in the history of American and earned the nickname "Public Enemy #1".

 Cinerama Adventure
This curiosity of a documentary film will no doubt appeal most to those who were fortunate enough to experience one of the handful of films made in the 1950's that used this remarkable process of Cinerama.
The film uses many clips from these films and puts together the best representation possible on a flat screen to furnish a taste of what the Cinerama experience was like.
Since the films were exhibited only in select theatres, specially outfitted with the incredibly complex projection equipment, colossal curved screens, and monumental sound systems required, that group is somewhat limited.

In the latter film the lead star was Britain's most famous actress of the 1940s, Margaret Lockwood.
(98) are the best known films she has appeared in during the later period of her career.
She might, with half a chance, have been a great melodramatic heroine: she had wit, intelligence, sensuality, and a flamboyant streak that she often used to salvage inferior roles.

 Swedish Film: Victor Sjöström to Ingmar Bergman, cont.
As the film runs her lover is behind her also watching and begins to seduce her, their making love during the film as they both face the screen, him behind her and the camera filming her being in front of him between him and the camera as she is begining to orgasm.
Death in the film, particularly after Bergman's having used the relationship between silence and a longing for belief or desire for faith as part of his characterization of the Knight, in many ways symbolizes silence and the unresponsiveness of the unknown, the game of chess a pursuit of something that is silent.
The film begins a series of scenes that are fantasy interwoven into the story of the three women, their putting on erotic stage plays in between indivdual scenes of the film.

 DVD review of King Solomon's Mines (1950) - DVD Town
The thing that makes the 1950 film so good (and to a lesser degree the 1937 rendering before it) is that it's done straight, as opposed to the intentionally campy attitudes taken by the newer accounts.
The fact is, the film is perhaps more travelogue than anything else, with the merest hint of a plot a device to get us out and about.
Granger is perfect for the role; he looks, sounds, and acts like the Quatermain of the novels.

 Amazon.com: Books: Strangers on a Train
The Hitchcock film is a classic of its kind--but even so the novel was both too hot and too dark to be filmed "as is" in the repressive 1950s.
The 1950 novel STRANGERS ON A TRAIN was Highsmith's first novel, and the premise was so intriguing that no less than legendary director Alfred Hitchcock snapped up the movie rights and turned it into one of his most admired films.
The book is significantly different than the film, so even fans of the movie will be in for a new experience.

This highly controversial film is now considered one of the best motion pictures of the 1950s and Miss Baker's performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for best actress.
The studios, however, were always eager to cast this porcelain beauty in roles which capitalized on her sex-symbol status, as Paramount Pictures did in films such as The Carpetbaggers (1964), Sylvia (1965), and Harlow (1965).

 Robert Donat
In addition to his film performances, Donat left the imprint of his great voice in a memorable series of poetry recordings.
He played the leads in some of Britain's finest films of the 30s and early 40s, ranging from Hitchcock's adventurous THE 39 STEPS (1935) to René Clair's comedy-fantasy THE GHOST GOES WEST (1936), in which he played the title role.
He was seriously ill during the production of his last film, THE INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS (1958), and was barely able to complete his role with the aid of oxygen tanks.

This insidious propaganda film was produced in 1944 in Theresienstadt, the "model" ghetto established by the Nazis in 1941 in Terezin, a town in the former Czechoslovakia.
The film begins with home movies of the family in the 1930s and follows Inge Auerbacher from her home town to her deportation to Theresienstadt, where she suffered for 3 1/2 years and was among the 100 children who survived.
In this haunting short fiction film, a group of Jewish children and their teacher are herded into an ambulance by Nazis; the vehicle, ordinarily representing comfort and safety, becomes the group’s death chamber.

 screenonline: Korda, Alexander (1893-1956) Biography
This meant producing films of an equivalent standard technically to those films they were competing against.
But there are times when his films communicate a certain unsureness of touch, a sense that he didn't know how to move forward.
Perhaps his real achievement as a director was in providing the next generation with an example: he never doubted filmmaking was something wonderful and that individuals engaged in filmmaking should have the best materials and resources.

 Retro Idols' Deborah Kerr
Her portrayal of a nun in Black Narcissus (1947) earned a New York Film Critics Best Actress award and led to an invitation from Hollywood to co-star opposite Clark Gable in The Hucksters.
Kerr's range of roles broadened further after that, and she began to appear in British films again.
While continuing to appear in various London stage plays, Kerr debuted onscreen in 1940 and went on to roles in a number of British films over the next seven years, often playing cool, reserved, well-bred young ladies.

 DVD review of And Then There Were None (VCI) - DVD Town
This film is a good lesson on how an ensemble cast is supposed to act: without vanity and with respect towards one another’s contributions to a film’s final impact.
The problem we are going to encounter with more and more older films on DVD is that unless a studio lavishes a good deal of time and money digitally restoring them to pristine condition, as MGM did with "Casablanca," the results are only going to be as good as the basic source material.
Continuing in its efforts to make obscure or nearly-forgotten fare available to the general public, VCI Home Video has released the 1945 film "And Then There Were None." Screenwriter Dudley Nichols adapted his script from Agatha Christie’s whodunit novel "Ten Little Indians," and the project features notables such as Oscar-winners Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston.
