Fox Home Entertainment has announced the Region 1 DVD release of 3 Fox Film Noir titles on 11th March 2008.
The blurbs from the press release:
Black Widow
(1954) stars Ginger Rogers and Van Heflin as well as Gene Tierney and George Raft in a murderous tale of Broadway ambition. A classic love triangle featuring heartbreak and betrayal
Daisy Kenyon
(1947) stars Joan Crawford and Henry Fonda, with a powerful supporting performance by noir-staple Dana Andrews and stunning black-and-white direction by Otto Preminger. Exploring the darkest corners of the mind, the classic psychological thriller.
Dangerous Crossing (1944) stars Jeanne Crain and Michael Rennie in a high-seas mystery.
These are obscure titles, which I haven’t seen, and I wonder whether Fox is stretching the envelope just to milk the genre by badging such movies as film noir. Full details at DVD Times.
