Editorial Reviews

Although the previous two collections in this series effectively mined most of the best noirs from Warner Bros.' extensive library, Volume 3 nonetheless reveals lesser-known gems from the vaults. In The Lady in the Lake (1946), a fascinating if not altogether successful experiment, director and star Robert Montgomery attempts to replicate the effect of Raymond Chandler's first-person whodunit by substituting the camera for the eyes of private detective Philip Marlowe, who is heard but seldom seen (and only then in mirrors) during the search for a missing wife believed to have been murdered. Less audacious but equally enjoyable is The Racket (1951), which stars Robert Mitchum as a hard-boiled, incorruptible cop and Robert Ryan as the suave gangster he's determined to apprehend. Mitchum also stars in another 1951 favorite, the generally underrated His Kind of Woman, playing a fall guy who goes to Mexico for a big payoff from crooked big-shot Raymond Burr. This John Farrow-directed thriller boasts a great supporting cast that also includes Jane Russell, Vincent Price, and erstwhile cowboy star Tim Holt. On Dangerous Ground, a 1952 melodrama directed by cult favorite Nicholas Ray, gives Robert Ryan a chance to play the tough cop, but his performance is overshadowed by that of leading lady Ida Lupino, superb as a blind woman whose brother is the object of a manhunt. The weakest film of this box, Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949), is not nevertheless without interest and, in fact, remains topical even today. It stars Ricardo Montalban and George Murphy as Mexican and American law enforcement officials, respectively, paired to investigate the exploitation of illegal farm workers. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
