"Jack Arnolds Klassiker Der Schrecken vom Amazonas hat zwei der berühmtesten Bildnisse des Horrorfilmes hervorgebracht: Da wäre zum einen der Kiemenmann mit den Schwimmhäuten zwischen Fingern und Zehen, da wäre zum anderen das Bild der langbeinigen, überaus hübschen Julia Adams, das Objekt seiner Begierde -- wie sie in der Lagune in einem leuchtend weißen Badeanzug schwimmt. Seit King Kong und die weiße Frau ist es keinem Film gelungen, ..."

"Based on a story by acclaimed writer Ray Bradbury, It Came from Outer Space starring Richard Carlson and Barbara Rush is a science fiction classic that is as thought-provoking and tantalizing today as it was when it first "landed" on the silver screen. When amateur astronomer John Putnam (Carlson) and his fiancée Ellen Fields (Rush) are stargazing in the desert, a spaceship bursts from the sky and crashes to the ground. Just before a la ..."
"Jack Arnold's horror classic The Creature from the Black Lagoon spawned not one but two iconic images: the web-footed humanoid gill-man with a hankering for women and the leggy, luscious Julia Adams, the object of his desire, swimming the lagoon in a luminous white bathing suit. Not since King Kong has the "beauty and the beast" theme been portrayed in such sexually charged (though chaste) terms. Arnold turns an effectively B-movie plot ..."
"The Original Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection includes 8 films featuring the most iconic monsters in motion picture history. Starring some of the most legendary actors including Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains and Elsa Lanchester in the roles that they made famous, these films set the standard for a new horror genre with revolutionary makeup, mood-altering cinematography and groundbreaking special ef ..."
"This gritty and often chilling documentary-style noir (based on a true story) about the hunt for a cop killer in Los Angeles is a must-have for fans of vintage crime films. Richard Basehart stars as a cold-blooded thief whose murder of a police officer sets off a citywide manhunt; the law, led by granite-jawed Scott Brady, tracks him relentlessly until the pair square off in the shadow-steeped drainage canals beneath the city (the same ..."
"The Sons of Katie Elder John Wayne recovered from his first bout with cancer to appear in this 1965 film as the brother of Dean Martin, Earl Holliman, and Michael Anderson Jr. All four characters are wandering souls prone to trouble, but after the funeral of their frontier mother, they set out to avenge her death. Directed by Henry Hathaway (Wayne's director on True Grit), the film moves like a conventional, latter-day Western, with goo ..."
"A spaceship from another world crashes in the Arizona desert, and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strange."

"The rugged but properly G-rated Man and Boy gives Bill Cosby (as producer and star) an impressive showcase in a rare dramatic role. Cosby's just right as a former cowboy and Union Army "blue-belly" who, in 1871, must defend his Arizona homestead against resentful white bigots. When his plow horse is stolen, he sets out to retrieve the animal with his 12-year-old son (played by George Spell, one of the finest child actors of the early '7 ..."
"Apart from the inherent clarity and richness of its black-and-white VistaVision--a wonderful format--The Lonely Man could be mistaken for a mediocre "adult Western" episode from '50s TV. The sets look like sets, not living spaces, and people trade ponderous, pause-laden dialogue instead of talking. Jack Palance plays an ex-gunslinger--a papier-mâché death's head--trying to reconnect with son Anthony Perkins, who's grown up (or not ..."

"Before Anthony Mann solidified his reputation with his edgy Westerns starring Jimmy Stewart such as The Naked Spur, he toiled in Hollywood's "Poverty Row," transforming a handful of low-budget crime thrillers into stylish, violent film noir classics with a mix of grace and grit. Three of his best, all photographed by the brilliant John Alton, have been collected in The Roan's Group's The Film Noir of Anthony Mann triple feature. T-Men ..."
