From Englewood:
Hollywood Noir in Volumes - These may have been seen before, but they are better now as bargains (at $19.99 each) and as the products of new masters from archival-quality negatives! Vol. 2 is Ulmer's signature piece Detour, restored from the original 35mm nitrate masters and including original "coming attractions" trailers; Vol. 3 is a "truly forgotten noir" called Impact; Vol. 5 is Quicksand, with Mickey Rooney falling hard for Jeanne Cagney; Vol. 6 is The Second Woman (1950) AKA Ellen, played by Betsy Drake as a young lady in love with - and in fear of - Robert Young; Vol. 7 is DOA with Edmond O'Brien, from the producer's negative; Vol. 19 is Not Wanted, produced by Ida Lupino.

From Kino:
The Dark Side of Hollywood continues by 4/14/98: Railroaded! (1946) is a low-budget Tony Mann with John Ireland and the beleagered hero and Hangmen Also Die (1942) is Fritz Lang's take on Brecht's vision of WWII. They will be $24.99 apiece...

Joan Crawford in Sudden Fear Still available are: T-Men (VVKI900) with Dennis O'Keefe, He Walked By Night (VVKI899) with Richard Basehart, and Raw Deal (VVKI898) with O'Keefe, Claire Trevor and Raymond Burr are all noirs from the late forties by Anthony Mann newly restored by Kino, each a welter of chase scenes both mental and physical: each are still $29.99... Joan Crawford finds reason to fear boy-toy Jack Palance in this self-reflexive thriller from 1952 - Sudden Fear, a relative bargain at $19.99 (VVKI882).
From Provisional:
The Blind Lead is a drug-driven, imploding menage-a-trois by John Covert that got raves from the Chicago Underground Film Fest, Film Threat, and other tastemakers; it's $19.98.
What About Me has Rachel Amodeo, today's answer to Ida Lupino, directing herself and street-wise rockers like Richard Hell, Dee Dee Ramone, and the late Johnny Thunders who also did the soundtrack; this is listed at $29.98.

From MGM:
Dark Passage (1947) has Bacall sheltering Bogey from his enemies until he's healed and ready for vengeance; $19.99 on tape (VVMGM205964) or $34.99 on laser (VLMGM101854).

From Universal:
The Uni Noir Collection bows 4/14/98 with five video debuts going for $14.99 apiece! Black Angel (1946) is a whodunnit starring Dan Duryea; Ministry of Fear (1944) has Fritz Lang adapting Graham Greene; Siodmak's Phantom Lady (1944) features Elisha Cook, Jr. as a drummer; You and Me (1938) is a con comedy set to Weill - or if that isn't weird enough for you try George Raft and Sylvia Sidney as lovebirds; and The Killers (1946) is Burt Lancaster's film debut in a Hemingway tale. These will be featured along with a boatload of repackaged classics...

From VCI:
Borderline stars Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor as drug enforcement agents on each others' tails in this 1950 thriller also available on a laser double feature from the Roan group, but VVUE4571 on tape for $14.99!
