Garv’s Pick of the Week: Black Angel (Arrow Academy)
For the release week of January 28th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Black Angel [Blu-ray / Arrow Academy]: A forgotten gem from the classic film noir period receives a very welcome Blu-ray release this week. In a rare leading role, Dan Duryea impresses as a full-time drunk and part-time songwriter who gets mixed up with women and murder. The always reliable Peter Lorre co-stars. You can read my full review HERE.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Bell, Book, and Candle [Blu-ray / Sony]: Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak are overshadowed by scene-stealing turns by Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs, and a cat named Pyewacket.
Fail Safe [Blu-ray / Criterion]: The matador… the matador… me… me.
Let’s Scare Jessica to Death [Blu-ray / Scream Factory]: Sounds like fun. Sorry, Jessica, I’m in.
Underwater! [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: It may be worth purchasing for the cover art alone.
Two on a Guillotine [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: Before The Love Bug, Dean Jones was doing movies like this. No wonder he stuck with Disney.
Parasite [Blu-ray / Universal]: Even if you are allergic to subtitles, I think you’ll enjoy this very clever thriller. It was one of the most entertaining films of last year.
