Sony has released an exciting new collection of Film Noir gems in association with Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation. Here is the official press release for the set, which will be released in July.
Sony
Pictures Entertainment (SPHE) and Martin Scorsese’s non-profit film
preservation organization, The Film Foundation, partner once again to bring
five films to DVD for the first time, fully-restored and re-mastered, in Columbia
Pictures Film Noir Classics II, debuting on DVD July 6. This must-have
collection includes Pushover (1954), Human Desire
(1954), The Brothers Rico (1957), Nightfall (1957)
and City of Fear (1959). In this second volume, renowned directors
Fritz Lang, Phil Karlson and Irving Lerner are joined by Jacques Tourneur and
Richard Quine in proving that lust, adultery, greed and revenge all add up to
cold, calculated murder. Film Noir Classics II takes viewers on a dark journey
among low-lifes and mobsters, cops and gun molls, and the dim-witted, hapless
pawns who forever changed the landscape of cinema, and whose doomed paths are
as disturbing today as when they were first committed to film.
