Known best for stately B-horror pictures, Hammer Film Productions was also       responsible for shadowy noir thrillers. Volume one includes Bad Blonde     (The Fanagan Boy, Reginald Le Borg, 1953, 81 mins.), featuring Barbara     Payton, Tony Wright, and Frederick Valk in the story of a boxer who conspires  with his manager's wife to kill her husband. However, when the prizefighter    decides to confess, a bad blonde is waiting for him. Next is the suspense fest Man Bait (The Last Page, Terence Fisher, 1952, 78 mins.), starr  ing George Brent as a bookstore owner caught up in a scheme of blackmail and       Reginald Le Borg/Terence Fisher---Great Britain---1953/1952---158 mins.
