The copy of Cry of the City I used to have, like Rogue Cop, I traded for. I believe it was taped off TCM. I have obtained many films noir, not available on DVD by trading for them, then generally replace them if they come out on DVD or BD. Some look pretty good, others, like Shakedown and and...
Cry of the City does look good, much better than the copy I used to have. I wonder what happened with Criterion, which supposedly had the rights to it for several years but never produced a DVD?
The closest decent bluray or dvd seller to me is 3 hours away, a B&N. So, its Ammazon most of the time. In fact, I just ordered 5 westerns from them yesterday.
I thought brasher was a very poor transfer, while inferno looked pretty good, especially the color. Fox is very inconsistant, has a ways to go to match warners.
