Sony has released a new twin DVD-set of 8 b-girl movies from the Columbia vaults titled Bad Girls of Film Noir. Mostly pot-boilers, but Night Editor is a must-have cult noir.

“The Glass Wall” is highly recommended. Vittorio Gassman is at his best here and Gloria Grahame gives one of her best performances. Don’t miss this one!
Thanks Andy!
Tony, I’ve seen the build-up for this dual release over the past months, and i must say I’m intrigued, even if most of these are potboilers. When i acquire these I’ll certainly be sure to look at NIGHT EDITOR first.
Hi! Tony and Sam Juliano,
Evelyn Keys in…
The Killer That Stalked New York (1950)is the only film that I have watched in Volume I…
…As far, as Volume II goes I have only watched Night Editor (I must admit a pretty bad copy…Therefore, I welcome a restored copy of this film too…)Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
Looking forward to seeing NIGHT EDITOR. The only ones I have seen are THE KILLER THAT STALKED NEW YORK and WOMEN’S PRISON, which I recently wrote about at 24 frames calling it overly dramatic and at times laugh out loud funny, unintentionally.
Thanks for your comments DeeDee, John and Sam. I also would really like to see the new print of Night Editor.
