KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL (1952) John Payne, Coleen Gray, Preston Foster, Lee Van Cleef, Neville Brand, Jack Elam. Terrific action drama about an ex-con who's nailed for an armored car robbery he didn't commit. He sets out to find the mastermind of the crime, which leads him south of the border. Mucho action and intrigue as he tries nail the real culprit. A wonderful cast; Gray is a true beauty! Great acting, great script, great everything--a top notch Hollywood production that we definitely recommend. Transferred from a sparkling 35mm print.
BOMBAY WATERFRONT (1952) John Bentley, Patricia Dainton, Christopher Lee, Valentine Dyall. Bentley is tops as the writer-turned-detective, Paul Temple. In this film, Temple tries to unmask a serial killer known as “the Marquis,” who has left a trail of dead bodies all over London. An early bad guy role for Lee; Dyall is great as the superintendent. Aka Paul Temple Returns. A solid mystery with all the trimmings. From 16mm.
