... 'at a reasonable price' might be a problem. Many Japanese releases run at about $40US a DVD. Human Desire is available as part of the 5-DVD Columbia Tri-Star Film Noir set and is about $144US a set at amazon.jp: Amazon.co.jpF COLUMBIA TRISTAR FILM NOIR COLLECTION VOL.2: DVD...

Thank you, Gary! As always, we can count on DVDBeaver for keeping us up to date. Also, if anyone is interested, Autumn Leaves has been recently released in Spain. It may not be a 'true' film noir but's it's on the list.

I agree - Desert Fury is great and Lizabeth Scott in color needs to be seen to be believed!

Thanks Gary! One other recent Spanish release - The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry: Pesadilla - Comprar películas DVDs en DVDgo, Venta tienda online: Estrenos, Ofertas, Novedades, Series TV, As far as I know, this title is not available commercially elsewhere.

Human Desire has been available from Spain for some time. Cornered has also been released in Italy. DVD - IBS - Missione di morte - Edward Dmytryk (It's a 2-DVD set: black and white and colorized versions). Some interesting Italian film noir releases are The Fallen Sparrow, Las Vegas Story...

I just wanted to let everybody know about the latest film noir releases I have found: 1. The Locket (1946) (Spain and Italy) 2. Desparate (1947) (Spain) 3. The Undercover Man (1949) (Spain)

Gary, Sleep My Love was released in Spain before the Kinowelt edition: http://www.dvdgo.com/product~catgid~...p,+My+Love.htm

Since there is no strict definition of 'film noir', it's really a matter of a personal opinion. What matters is that it's a fantastic movie and, hopefully, Criterion will give it its proper treatment. This is one of the longest film noir lists I have ever come across...

The Man Between (Carol Reed - 1953) was released in Germany in November, 2006: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000...262789-2787427 Born To Be Bad (Nicholas Ray - 1950) will be released in Spain on March 21st. Caged (John Cromwell - 1950) will be released as part of WB Cult Camp...

Play.com does not ship to the USA. I also like DVDPacific.com. Their service is fast and their prices are often the best. I often use www.dvdpricesearch.com for R1 DVD price comparison. I use www.find-dvd.co.uk for R2 DVD price comparison in the UK. www.deepdiscount.com is another...

Not that it matters but DVDPacific.com is located in Florida. http://dvdpacific.com/ContactUs.asp

Cry Of the City has already been released in both France and Spain (R2): http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDRev...dvd_review.htm Phantom Lady has been announced in France for April 4th release: http://dvdfr.com/dvd/dvd.php?id=30043

Universal really let us down big time. The quality of recording is bad and there are absolutely no special features. They really abused the popularity of film noir and figured that anything would go.

Gary, Thanks for the information. It is simply shocking! I have contacted amazon.co.uk's customer service asking them to update The Big Steal DVD description - it never mentioned that it was colorized. I just hope that the other titles (especially The Blue Dahlia and The Glass Key which are...

According to the link below, Katharine Hepburn Collection will be released in R1 in May: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=64075 It will contain a pretty good noirish 'lady in distress' drama Undercurrent with Robert Mitchum. It will be interesting to find out if Undercurrent...

I would not trust IMDB regarding 'noir' classification. The Well is not the only example. It's listed as film noir, however, in some other places: http://www.theyshootpictures.com/noirmoreamerican.htm http://www.gaskcadd.com/ssk_pix/FILMNOIR2006.pdf...

Blonde Ice boasts one of the nastiest, cold-hearted femme fatale in film noir history (played by Leslie Brooks). It could probably only be topped by Jean Gillie in Decoy. Enjoy! I also like the film noir filmography from www.theyshootpictures.com: They have done a great job researching...

Most of the titles listed above have some 'noir' elements. Many of them have been referenced in different articles on film noir. One of the best books on B film noir is Death on the Cheap by Arthur Lyons: http://www.amazon.com/Death-Cheap-Lo.../dp/0306809966 It has a B film noir...

A couple of British film noir have been recently released in the UK: The Man in Grey - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Grey-Mar.../dp/B000LXH3D8 and No Orchids For Miss Blandish - http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Orchids-F.../dp/B000H1QQWS

Craig, You should definitely go for a region-fre DVD player. You will be adding a totally new dimension to your DVD viewing choices. It's not only the film noir titles that are available in other regions/formats. There are so many other wonderful titles that are not available in R1. Check...

Robert, I guess you are right - go by the eyes and/or lips - it has to be Jane Greer. They really picked the worst cover art imaginable.

Yes, that's definitely not Jane Greer on the Out Of The Past image. That should be a million dollar question. Does anyone know the answer?

Thanks Robert! I agree that the covers are pretty bad. I wish they used the original poster art instead. By the way, what about the special features? If these releases follow the UK Double Indemnity (no special features at all) example, we should not keep our hopes high. It would...

Thanks Pasquale! You are right that French Editions Montparnasse has most of the Italian RKO releases but with some exceptions (The Las Vegas Story, The Fallen Sparrow, They Won't Believe Me).

Thanks Robert! I have a Spanish edition of The Woman In The Window and the quality of recording is horrible. I also noticed that with some Italian RKO film noir releases (The Las Vegas Story, They Won't Believe Me, The Fallen Sparrow and others) - there is English audio which is not...
