DVD: Film Noir Classic Collection Vol. 4

Out July 31, this set collects 10 grim'n'gritty flicks on five disks. It's available for pre-order now from Amazon.

Here's the lineup:

Act of Violence / Mystery Street
Ex-GIs are on a collision course in a crisp tale directed by Fred Zinnemann (The Day of the Jackal) in Act of Violence. And in Mystery Street, CSI Noir: John Sturges (The Great Escape) helms a procedural whodunit in Boston environs.

Crime Wave / Decoy
A hardboiled cop: Sterling Hayden (The Asphalt Jungle) heads an L.A. manhunt in Crime Wave. A drop-dead dame femme fatale Jean Gille revives her hunk from the dead (!) because he knows where the loot is buried in Decoy.

Illegal / The Big Steal
D.A. Edward G. Robinson turns to defending lowlifes in a snappy remake of The Mouthpiece. On the lam, down Mexico way: Out of the Past's Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer reteam, Don Siegel directs in The Big Steal.

They Live By Night / Side Street
In love... in danger. Thugs force lovebirds Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell to be accomplices in They Live By Night. And in Side Street, the duo returns as struggling Manhattan marrieds who unwittingly get their hands on mob dough.

Where Danger Lives / Tension
A corpse behind. A dead end ahead. Woozy Robert Mitchum and Faith Domergue are on the run in Where Danger Lives. In Tension, genre icon Audrey Totter is bad to the bone. But milquetoast hubby Richard Basehart may be worse!
