Criterion Does The KIlling on Blu Ray/DVD !!

   This Aug. Criterion is putting out Stanley Kubrick’s  classic 1956 heist film The Killing. With a cast that includes Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Timothy Carey, Elisha Cook Jr., Marie Windsor, Ted de Corsia, Vince Edwards and Jay C. Flippen (whew...) - you can't go wrong. One of the greatest film noirs ever made. Worth it alone for Timothy Carey.

Crime Wave

Part of Warner's Film Noir Vol. 4 collection, Andre DeToth's Crime Wave is an almost perfect example of a nice tight little crime film. Starring the great Sterling Hayden and a wonderful cast of character actors including Charles Buchinsky (Bronson), Ted De Corsia, Dub Taylor and of course Timothy Carey. In the words of  Lt. Sims (Hayden) - "What do you want, Christmas everyday ....?".

Paired on a DVD with the whacked out and totally demented Decoy starring Jean Gillie, who plays the ultimate evil female noir lead.
