Spies, stakeouts, corrupt cops, and crime syndicates. It can only mean that our Columbia Noir series is back for its latest instalment.
Indicator’s Columbia Noir #4 continues the deep dive into Columbia’s vaults to bring us six more exquisitely packaged film noir titles. Actually, with this collection, only two of the films are what could be considered strictly noir. The rest of the tangentially noirish films offered are two espionage pictures, a straight-on gangster flick, and the first colour offering in this series that is a pseudo-psycho melodrama, not noir.
Columbia Noir #4, released 20 September 2021, presents six world premieres on Blu-ray – Walk a Crooked Mile (Gordon Douglas, 1948), Walk East on Beacon! (Alfred Werker, 1952), Pushover (Richard Quine, 1954), A Bullet is Waiting (John Farrow, 1954), Chicago Syndicate (Fred F Sears, 1955) and The Brothers Rico (Phil Karlson, 1957) – as well as a wealth of bonus materials.
