[t1g3r5fan]

Prior to arriving in Hollywood, Michael Gordon was a stage actor in New York City as a member of the Group Theatre – something of a precursor to the Actor’s Studio – during the 1930’s. When he came to Tinseltown in 1940, he found work as a dialogue director and later graduated to the director’s chair, cutting his teeth working on 4 B movies for Columbia Pictures in 1942 and 1943. After a couple of years, he was brought over to Universal-International Pictures where he would make a name for himself with film noir flavored dramas and thrillers, starting with The Web. Kino has licensed the movie from Universal for its home video debut.

I'm very pleased that this film has been given a Blu-ray release. It's a disc I'm going to watch repeatedly over the next few years.
