Description by OLDIES.com:
This collection showcases three timeless film noir classics featuring the iconic Edward G. Robinson:
In "Vice Squad" (1953), Robinson stars as the resolute captain of detectives, Barney Barnaby, tackling a day of relentless crime in Los Angeles. Teaming up with escort madam Mona Ross (Paulette Goddard), Barnaby dives into a labyrinthine bank heist plot, navigating through the city's underworld over 24 gripping hours.
"Black Tuesday" (1954) unveils Robinson at his most ruthless as Vincent Canelli, a violent killer who orchestrates a daring prison break. With hostages in tow, Canelli faces off against law enforcement in a deadly showdown, featuring stellar performances from Jean Parker and Peter Graves.
In "Nightmare" (1956), Robinson delivers a haunting portrayal as a detective aiding New Orleans clarinetist Stan Grayson (Kevin McCarthy) in unraveling a nightmarish murder mystery. Directed by Maxwell Shane and based on a story by Cornell Woolrich, this film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
The collection includes brand new HD masters from 2K scans of the 35mm fine grains, along with audio commentaries by film historians Gary Gerani and Jason A. Ney for "Vice Squad," "Black Tuesday," and "Nightmare" respectively. Additionally, viewers can enjoy the theatrical trailer for "Black Tuesday" and optional English subtitles.
