[MOVIES] FILM NOIR.

The Burglar [6.9] -- Noir regular Dan Duryea and rising sex symbol Jayne Mansfield have the leads in a guilt-laden tale of a robbery caper and its gone-wrong aftermath.
Black Angel [7.1] -- Archetypal noir villain Dan Duryea is cast against type as a sympathetic musician who falls into some serious boozing and brooding when his treacherous wife abandons him.

The Whistler + The Mark of the Whistler -- The film that started it all, directed by future horror-schlock meister William Castle; followed by its sequel, adapted from a short story (“Dormant Account”) by Cornell Woolrich.
Framed [6.9] -- This "rarely-seen piece of prime-grade pulp" features Glenn Ford as a down-on-his-luck man lured into the seductive web of a scheming waitress.

The Woman in the Window [7.8] -- This stylish and seductive Noir is “one of the best of Fritz Lang’s American movies — a thriller with the logic and plausibility of a nightmare” (Pauline Kael).
Laura [8.2] -- "The sleekest of noirs, the chicest of murders, and deliciously twisted ... a truly haunting study of obsession" (James Monaco).

A triple threat of atmospheric mysteries only The Whistler can solve! Amnesia, double-crossing, and trails of falsehoods make for a stimulating evening of intrigue.

99 River Street [7.5] -- A neglected gem from low-budget director Phil Karlson, whose nasty, tough-as-nails B-noirs are "so pulp-aggressive they make Samuel Fuller’s noirs look sophisticated."
The Secret of the Whistler + The Thirteenth Hour -- Directors George Sherman and William Clemens bring sly and cynical plots to The Whistler series.

Phantom Lady [7.5] -- “A mini-masterpiece of mood and character” (Jeanine Basinger), this exemplary noir thriller comes from German expatriate Robert Siodmak.
In a Lonely Place [8.0] -- Directed by Hollywood poète maudit and auteurist favourite Nicholas Ray, this noir features Humphrey Bogart as a Hollywood screenwriter blacklisted for his boozing and bad attitude.

Dead Reckoning [7.1] -- Humphrey Bogart stars as Rip Murdock, a war hero investigating the disappearance of an army buddy in John Cromwell’s complexly plotted, claustrophobic noir thriller.
Kansas City Confidential [7.5] -- This taut, propulsive heist film reportedly served as inspiration for Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, and marked the first teaming of B-noir director Phil Karlson and leading man John Payne.
