A-Ha! A tip from the DVD Talk forum; The following Fox Film Noirs have just popped up for pre-order at DVD Empire, to be released December 6; Kiss of Death (Commentary by Film Noir Historians Alain Silver and James Ursini, Theatrical Trailer, Still Gallery), Where the Sidewalk Ends...
Fox Film Noir September releases at DVD Times here: Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of three titles as part of Film Noir Wave 3 due on 6th September 2005. Priced at $14.98 SRP each are... House on 92nd Street A stentorian narrator tells us that the USA was...
