SYNOPSIS:
In the 40's and 50's the juiciest roles for actresses in Hollywood were often in B-pictures that explored the dark side of life: starring roles as cool, calculating gals who could stick a knife in a man's back and make him like it. Lizabeth Scott, Gloria Grahame, and Evelyn Keyes were some of the best of the period, and are among Noir fans' favorites for their roles in such classics of the genre as Dead Reckoning and The Racket (Scott), The Big Heat and Human Desire (Grahame), 99 River Street and The Prowler (Keyes).

Here's your chance to see them at work in some great films straight out of the vault, newly restored and re-mastered, for the first time on DVD. Co-starred with the likes of Edmond O'Brien, Charlton Heston, and Vittorio Gassman these dames shine a like the brightest stars in Hollywood, and each film packs in plenty of the best bad girl behavior.

The Killer That Stalked New York (1953, 79 min.)
After helping to smuggle diamonds into the country and getting burned by her latest flame (and her sister!), Sheila Bennet (Evelyn Keyes) decides to get even. But she unwittingly puts herself and millions of others at risk, requiring an all-out manhunt for a killer.

The deep shadows in Joseph F. Biroc’s cinematography heighten the suspense, with excellent support from actors Charles Korvin (Sangaree), Academy Award winner Dorothy Malone (Written on the Wind), Lola Albright (The Tender Trap), and William Bishop (Harriet Craig).

Two of a Kind (1951, 75 min.)
Brandy Kirby (Lizabeth Scott, Dead Reckoning) is on a manhunt to locate a look-a-like for a missing heir imposter in an inheritance scam. She finds a willing participant in Lefty Farrell (Edmond O’Brien) who was raised in an orphanage and trained in small-time rackets. But will Brandy’s partner (Alexander Knox, Wilson) cut in on Lefty’s piece of the action or will the partners double-cross each other before they get their hands on the loot?

Photographed by two-time Academy Award winner and veteran Columbia cinematographer Burnett Guffey (Best Cinematography: From Here to Eternity, 1953; Bonnie and Clyde, 1967), the film co-stars Academy Award nominee Terry Moore (Best Supporting Actress, Come Back, Little Sheba, 1953).

Bad for Each Other (1953, 83 min.)
Academy Award winner Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) is a Korean War vet and surgeon whose return to his small coal-mining hometown offers him few possibilities, one of which is the intriguing socialite/divorcee Helen Curtis (Lizabeth Scott, The Racket). Helen’s charms prove to be too much to resist, drawing the young doctor into a social circle and lifestyle that raises concern from the others in his life, including his mother and pretty young nurse (Dianne Foster, The Brothers Rico).

The Glass Wall (1953, 82 min.)
Desperate to immigrate to America, Peter Kuban (Vittorio Gassman) stows away on a ship and jumps quarantine to try to find support for his petition for a visa on human rights grounds. Academy Award winner Gloria Grahame (The Bad and the Beautiful) is the down-on-her-luck easy mark who, in helping Kuban, finds more trouble for herself. Joseph Biroc’s great location photography makes New York City the menacing femme fatale in this race-against-the-clock suspense story.
