Columbia Pictures Film Noir Classics, Vol. 1
In the 1940s, a new genre – film noir – emerged from the world of “hard – boiled” pulp magazines, paperback thrillers and sensational crime movies.

Now, Sony Pictures and The Film Foundation have brought five noir classics together in one collection, all restored and remastered, and featuring brilliant performances by Glenn Ford, Lee Marvin, Kim Novak, Eli Wallach and Gloria Grahame, the genre-defining cinematography of Burnett Guffey, Hal Mohr and Lucien Ballard, and focused, taut direction by celebrated directors including Fritz Lang, Don Siegel and Phil Karlson.
