Network will be releasing a new restoration of The Weapon (1956). The source Olive used for the US release definitely needed some cleanup, so I'm looking forward to seeing this release. Perhaps more importantly, I'm hoping they will be releasing it in its original 2.35.1 AR (Olive's is in 1.78.1).

One of my favorite "Nuclear Noir" films and with the usual excellent cinematography of Lucien Ballard and a great early score by Jerry Goldsmith:

It's a good movie and I agree about Jerry Goldsmith's score. Just terrific. Downloadable from iTunes too - I listen to it regularly. Have seen several of Vince Edwards' 50's films during the past year or two. And I keep wondering why he didn't became a bigger star in that era. He's always solid - and even in supporting roles sometimes steals the pictures he's in. The guy seemed to have everything yet was pretty much slotted into what were perceived as B pictures. Even though some of these were outstanding. Rewatched 1952's Cinecolor "Hiawatha" (in which he starred) yesterday and still find it a quiet charmer. Edwards really hit his stride in 50's crime movies like "Cell 2455-Death Row", "The Night Holds Terror", "Hit and Run"(teamed with Cleo Moore) and "City of Fear". But - above all - the noir masterpiece "Murder By Contract"(1958). Edwards' edgy performance (in the lead) is one of the things that makes this movie amazing. Certainly a title we need on Blu-ray.

Finally broke down and bought the import of The Driver. I had nearly all of Hill's main stuff on blu and so I had to get this one someway or the other.

From WAC's announcements:

Quote:
NEW 2021 1080p HD Master Sourced from 4k Scan of Original Camera Negative!
CROSSFIRE (1947)

Run Time 85:00
Subtitles English SDH
Sound Quality MONO - English, DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English
Aspect Ratio 1.37:1, 4 X 3
Product Color BLACK & WHITE
Disc Configuration BD 50
Special Features: Commentary by Film Historians Alain Silver and James Ursini, with Audio Interview Excerpts of Director Edward Dmytryk; Featurette "Crossfire: Hate Is Like A Gun"

Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there’s crime, there’s motive. But he finds no usual motive when investigating a man’s death by beating. The man was killed because he was a Jew. “Hate,” Finlay says, “is like a gun.” Robert Young portrays Finlay, Robert Mitchum is a laconic army sergeant assisting in the investigation of G.I. suspects, and Robert Ryan plays a vicious bigot in a landmark film noir nominated for five Academy Awards®, including Best Picture. Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet) directs, draping the genre’s stylistic backdrops and flourishes around a topic rarely before explored in films: anti-Semitism in the U.S. Here, Hollywood takes aim at injustice...and catches bigotry in a Crossfire.

I'm excited about Crossfire. It's a riveting movie with one of my favorite Gloria Grahame roles.

I didn't really care for Crossfire when I saw it like 8-10 years ago. Maybe I was just in a bad mood. This Blu release is a perfect opportunity to reassess the film. With that cast, how the hell can you go wrong?

I didn't like it when I saw it a decade ago either, but when I watched it recently, I liked it

Nice! I will definitely pick up this one right away, The others I've been flip-flopping on because I have half the films on other releases (Noir Archive, the Imprint noir set, etc...), but this one is all worldwide Blu-ray premieres! I actually have not seen Convicted and Between Midnight and Dawn... exciting!
