Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Didn't make the cut for me
I bought this because of the words FILM NOIR and the low price for 9 movies. I thought I'd be watching these more than once, but I was wrong. I judge a movie many ways but one big thing I look for is repeatability. I don't ever want to see these again.

Some were drawn out like RingSide, which didn't have much of a story so you watch long boring rounds of bad boxing. Same for Hi-Jacked, except this time it's scenes of driving (although I did like seeing Sid Melton). Another big loser ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun with some lesser known films
The bottom of the barrel: this seems to be the appropriate term for Series 3 of Forgotten Noir (consisting of volumes 7, 8 and 9). Not that all these films in the set are bad, but it's obvious that the supply of available material from the Lippert vaults must be almost at an end. As a result, this set contains a few movies that are at best, borderline noir.

Volume 7 has David Harding, Counterspy; Danger Zone and The Big Chase. David Harding, Counterspy is based off a radio show and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not Seen For Over Half A Century!
Here's another fantastic release from Kit Parker Films and VCI. Many of the movies in this set haven't been seen in over fifty years which makes them all the more interesting to film noir buffs, although one could argue the noir status of some of them. There are nine films in this collection: two are from Columbia Pictures (David Harding Counterspy, Mr. District Attorney,) six are from Lippert Pictures (Pier 23, Hi-Jacked, Scotland Yard Inspector, Danger Zone, The Big Chase, Ringside,) one from Screen ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Kit Parker Films ... Forgotten Noir Collector's Set - Series 3 ... VCI Ent (2008)"
VCI Entertainment and Kit Parker Films presents "FORGOTTEN NOIR COLLECTOR'S SET - SERIES 3" --- (1947-1954) (554 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Film noir has sources not only in cinema but other artistic mediums as well...the low-key lighting schemes commonly linked with the classic mode are in the tradition of chiaroscuro and tenebrism, techniques using high contrasts of light and dark developed by 15th- and 16th-century painters associated with Mannerism and the Baroque --- film noir's aesthetics ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - More great film noir fun from VCI
Ed Brophy as a professor, Hugh Beaumont as a hard-boiled private detective, and B-rated noir that is great fun if you like the genre continues this series by VCI. The films included are:

David Harding, Counterspy (1950) 7/10 - Stars Willard Parker and Audrey Long. Based on a radio show that ran from 1942-1957. Harding (Howard St. John) causes the interruption of a radio broadcast to announce disinformation. Harding then tells the radio announcer the story that is the movie's plot. It has lots of twists ...
