BOX SET CONTENT:

Island Of Doomed Men (1940)

Oscar winner Charles Barton directs the legendary Peter Lorre (M, The Maltese Falcon) in this sensational Noir that "pushes the censorship restrictions of the era as far as possible thanks to its elements of sadism, bondage, spousal abuse, and one very startling moment of (simulated) animal cruelty" (TCM, Nathaniel Thompson). 

Peter Lorre plays Stephen Danel, the owner of Dead Man's Island, using the off-the-radar colony as a place to keep paroled convicts as slaves. Undercover agent Mark Sheldon gets sent to the island and becomes trapped himself as Danel's sadistic guards maintain a tight circle around the house and grounds.

The Burglar (1957)

Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by David Goodis, The Burglar stars Dan Duryea, Jayne Mansfield and Martha Vickers. 

A burglar and his two associates set their sights on a wealthy spiritualist who has inherited a fortune – including a renowned emerald necklace – from a Philadelphia financier.

"This film is loaded with wonderful expressionistic touches that constantly surprise you, and sometimes take your breath away. A flashback sequence shrouded in dreamlike darkness, jolting edits, radical sound design, Sol Kaplan's amazing score, car chases that feel like you're riding the bumper, striking close-ups and shocking angles, and a stunning 10-minute carnival climax. … this is an artful noir that deserves more recognition." – Martin Teller

Manhattan - Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin | A Short Film

A tribute short film to Woody Allen’s Manhattan. Edited and Directed by Chris A.

Manhattan is the most densely populated and geographically smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is coextensive with New York County of the U.S. state of New York, the smallest county by land area in the contiguous United States. Located almost entirely on Manhattan Island near the southern tip of the State of New York, Manhattan constitutes the geographical and demographic center of the Northeast megalopolis and the urban core of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. Manhattan serves as New York City's economic and administrative center and has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world.

Rhapsody in Blue is a 1924 musical composition written by George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. Commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman, the work premiered in a concert titled "An Experiment in Modern Music" on February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York City. Whiteman's band performed the rhapsody with Gershwin playing the piano. Whiteman's arranger Ferde Grofé orchestrated the rhapsody several times including the 1924 original scoring, the 1926 pit orchestra scoring, and the 1942 symphonic scoring.
