Yep, sounds really good. One of the Kino's better noir announcements, for sure.

dsman71 · 06-22-2015, 07:18 PM

There are so many wonderful Noir titles out there but many are PD
Detour, DOA, Quicksand, Im glad they snagged this one

Whatever happened to the Film Detective release of DOA or any title for that matter?

The guy who runs TFD keeps saying that they're on their way. Who knows.

Regardless, this is a great release choice by Kino.

Dear Kino Studio Classics,

Pitfall is a wondrous film noir that makes the best of Lizabeth Scott's alluring beauty. I've only seen the film in the lesser DVD incarnation, but it's still one of my favorites from the genre.

I am really really excited about this.

They are deciding to do BD or BDr I think

Day 1 purchase for me.

Amazing! Didn't see this coming!

BluPat · 06-24-2015, 06:20 AM

Sounds like a great film! Can't wait!

Watched this tonight and really enjoyed this one. Lizabeth Scott is legit. Will definitely pick this one up. Another recent noir I saw and loved was The Big Clock, anyone heard of a release on that one?

popcorntreect · 07-18-2015, 04:41 AM

Am I the only one that thought this might be Teshigahara's Pitfall and worried Criterion lost the rights?

The Big Clock is actually available as part of a 3 noir set from Germany if you really want to go deep.
Why it didn't get an individual release is a total mystery, as the other titles were released individually.

It's rumored to get a Criterion release.

dsman71 · 07-18-2015, 05:04 PM

Where the Sidewalk Ends is also supposed to getting a blu ray release which is super cool, but would rather have Fallen Angel first

Iamspartacus · 07-18-2015, 06:04 PM

Are you serious about The Big Clock rumored for criterion?
