"There's nothing over-clever about Phil Karlson's movies--they're so pulp-aggressive they make Samuel Fuller's noirs look sophisticated. Karlson's 99 River Street is truly a forgotten gem on his resume, a brutal and hostile jeremiad set entirely at night about a bitter, failed boxer (John Payne) whose unhappy wife gets mixed up with a diamond heist; that initiates a fall of dominoes that gets so despairingly twisted, you can't imagine how the luckless hero will ever punch his way out. Twitching with rage, Payne finally obliterates the memory of his nice-guy lawyer from Miracle on 34th Street, and as his new love interest, Evelyn Keyes, playing a strangely impulsive actress, flits in and out of the darkness like a neurotic moth. But Karlson fills in the margins so beautifully: imperturbable buddy Frank Faylen, smiling scumbag Brad Dexter, faithless slut Peggie Castle, Yiddishe diamond fence Jay Adler, bullet-headed hitman Jack Lambert, and so on, all biting at one another like lab rats left to starve in their maze" (Michael Atkinson, Boston Phoenix).

A collection of four B-movie noirs with a focus on the femme fatale. Night Editor (Henry Levin, USA, 1946, 68 mins.), based on a radio series, stars Charles D. Brown as the editor of a newspaper, who is trying to get the facts straight on a cheating policeman (William Gargan) and a dame (Janis Carter) involved in a murder. In One Girl's Confession (Hugo Haas, USA, 1953, 74 mins.), Cleo Moore plays one girl who steals a butt-load of money, stows it, gets caught, gets released, shacks up with an older man (Haas) near her loot, sees him spending tons of dough, gets suspicious, and things get even more melodramatic and mixed-up before the titular confession. Women's Prison (Lewis Seiler, USA, 1955, 79 mins.) has Ida Lupino playing a warden who takes out her psychosexual issues on her prisoners, including Jan Sterling and, again, Cleo Moore. Unlike later women-in-prison pictures, this early example is hysterical, not hot. Lastly, Cleo Moore rears her pretty blond head in Over-Exposed (Lewis Seiler, USA, 1956, 80 mins.), starring as a photojournalist whose work at an expose rag makes some mobsters over-angry. 299 mins.
