Excellent collection of noir, the best of the Dark Film Mysteries series. It includes a number of certified classics of the genre, including "The Stranger," "Detour" and "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers." Even the lesser titles, like the Mickey Rooney vehicle "Quicksand" and the horror-tinged "The Red House" have a lot of period sizzle. Note that a number of these titles have lapsed into the public domain, which means transfer quality is uneven, especially as these are DVDs.

One or two "clinkers", but Strange Love of Martha Ivers alone is worth the price of the set. I won't insert a spoiler here, but this is a movie worth watching even if you're not a noir fan. The only issue that I have is that there is no CC for any of the films. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have for older folks (like me) who have some hearing issues and have to crank up the volume.
