Description
"In the 1940s, a new genre, film noir, emerged from the world of 'hard-boiled' pulp magazines, paperback thrillers and sensational crime movies. These films, tough and unsentimental, depicted a black-and-white universe at once brutal, erotic and morally ambiguous. Now, Sony Pictures and The Film Foundation have brought five noir classics together in one collection, all restored and remastered"--Container.
