DVD Reviews of Forgotten Noir, Vol. 6 (I'll Get You / Fingerprints Don't Lie)
DVD Review: "Forgotten Noir #6 ... I'll Get You (1952) & Fingerprints Don't Lie (1951) ... VCI Home Video (2007)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Kit Parker Films presents "FORGOTTEN NOIR 6" ... I'll Get You (1952) & Fingerprints Don't Lie (1951) --- (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Film noir has sources not only in cinema but other artistic mediums as well...the low-key lighting schemes commonly linked with the classic mode are in the tradition of chiaroscuro and tenebrism, techniques using high contrasts of light and dark developed by 15th- and 16th-century painters associated with Mannerism and the Baroque...film noir's aesthetics are deeply influenced by German Expressionism, a cinematic movement of the 1910s and 1920s closely related to contemporaneous developments in theater, photography, painting, scultpture, and architecture...opportunities offered by the booming Hollywood film industry and, later, the threat of growing Nazi power led to the emigration of many important film artists working in Germany who had either been directly involved in the Expressionist movement or studied with its practitioners...Directors such as Fritz Lang, Robert Siodmak, and Michael Curtiz brought dramatic lighting techniques and a psychologically expressive approach to mise-en-scène with them to Hollywood, where they would make some of the most famous of classic noirs. Lang's 1931 masterwork, the German M, is among the first major crime films of the sound era to join a characteristically noirish visual style with a noir-type plot, one in which the protagonist is a criminal (as are his most successful pursuers). M was also the occasion for the first star performance by Peter Lorre, who would go on to act in several formative American noirs of the classic era ... featuring top performances from the '40s and '50s with outstanding drama and screenplays, along with a wonderful cast and supporting actors to bring it all together ... another winner from the vaults of almost forgotten film noir gems
First up we have Eros Films and Lippert Pictures feature "I'LL GET YOU" (aka: Escape Route) (1950) (79 mins/B&W) --- Under Seymour Friedman (Director), Peter Graham Scott (Asst.Director), Ronald Kinnoch (Producer), John Baines (Screenwriter), Nicholas Phipps (Screenwriter), Hans May (Original Score), Eric Cross (Cinematographer), Tom Simpson (Editor) - - - - - the cast includes George Raft (Steve Rossi), Sally Gray (Joan Miller), Frederick Piper (Inspector Reid), Reginald Tate (Colonel Wilkes), Clifford Evans (Michael Grand), Patricia Laffan (Irma Brookes), June Ashley (Girl), John Warwick (Security Chief Brice), Roddy Hughes (Porter) - - - - released March 3, 1951 as our F.B.I. agent (George Raft) illegally enters England following the disappearance of several noted atomic scientists ... as Raft and Sally Gray close in, the terrorists aren't about to give up without a final encounter ... what's behind this cloak and dagger game, will our popular hero of Warner Bros. fame come out of this suspenseful plot with all the answers and a new love life.
