This is a very welcome collection of classic film noir titles from two of the world's most acclaimed directors, Otto Preminger and Jules Dassin. This cherishable BFI box set (a joint issue with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment), delivers that invigorating noir meld of dark psychology and vivid black and white imagery. The films are Fallen Angel (Otto Preminger, 1945), with Dana Andrews as an up-against-it press agent in thrall to the seductive, soon-to-be-dead Stella (Linda Darnell). Preminger also directed Whirlpool (1949) with Gene Tierney married to upscale psychoanalyst (Richard Conte) and involved with a malevolent hypnotist (José Ferrer). Jules Dassin's classic Night and the City (1950) is the definitive film of Gerald Kersh's celebrated London underworld novel, with Richard Widmark as a low-rent tout at the edges of the wrestling rackets of post-war London. < less
