Collection of four original film noir classics. Otto Preminger
directs 'Fallen Angel' (1945) in which Dana Andrews plays Eric
Stanton, a down-on-his-luck press agent who drifts into a small
Californian coastal town. There he meets June (Alice Faye), a
wealthy but reclusive woman, but has his eye on sultry waitress
Stella (Linda Darnell). In love with Stella but broke, Eric marries
June for her money, planning a rapid divorce. However, the story
takes an unexpected turn when Stella is found murdered. Preminger
also directs 'Whirlpool' (1950), starring Gene Tierney as Ann
Sutton, the well-dressed wife of a successful psychoanalyst. When
arrested for shoplifting, she is saved from inevitable scandal by
the intervention of the suave but slightly sinister hypnotist David
Korvo (Jose Ferrer). However, the salvation proves deceptive and
she soon finds herself caught up in a web of blackmail and murder.
Jules Dassin directs the classic B-movie thriller 'Night and the
City' (1950), starring Richard Widmark as Harry Fabian, a small
time con-man with dreams of one day making it big. In the back
streets of London, he runs across a Greco-Roman wrestler, and
arrives at a plan that he believes will set him up financially for
life. However, the more people he involves in his scam the more
difficult it becomes to manage, and Harry has to fight hard to keep
his eyes on the prize. Dana Andrews also stars in Preminger's
gritty 1950 thriller 'Where the Sidewalk Ends' as corrupt New York
cop Mark Dixon. Already in trouble for his brutal methods and
alienated from his colleagues, he pursues a gang leader with
vindictive zeal and accidentally kills a possible murder suspect.
His guilt deepens when he falls in love with the dead man's wife
and her father, an innocent cab driver, finds himself accused of
the murder. Dixon finds ultimate redemption - at a price.
