I’ve been a fan of “film noir” movies (click to read more, if you are not familiar with that movie genre) since I was a kid. Not that I knew what movies in this genre were actually called back then, LOL!
Loved the mysterious atmosphere that these movies portrayed:
The night scenes, the danger, the spine-tingling suspense, the romance, the glamour, wonderful 40s clothing and music, the bad guys, the bad girls…what’s not to ♥, right?

I happened to find this Film Noir Collection: two DVD set over at Amazon for less than $10!!!
And that is for all 10 of these Film Noir classics:
DOA
BEAT THE DEVIL
IMPACT
THE STRANGER
SCARLET STREET
SHOCK
PORT OF NEW YORK
THEY MADE ME A CRIMINAL
WHIRLPOOL
QUICKSAND
***
As for quality, excellent picture and sound, considering the age of the original films these were reproduced from, all from the 40’s.
Only one thing that might be a negative for some viewers, this is a full-screen version not widescreen. For me though, it was fine, as we have an older TV and the full screen versions for movies are actually better.
This would also make a great gift for any “film noir” fans on your list.
The DVDs are packaged in a black metal tin, instead of the usual plastic DVD case. Add a red ribbon tied around it and you’d be good to go!
If you are a film noir fan like I am or know someone who is, this is a must have collection!
Happy Week and Viewing!
Overall rating for this product: Very Good. 4 out of 5.
