Previous installments gave us the classic Anthony Mann/John Alton crime thrillers <i>Raw Deal</i> and <i>T-Men</i>; Jules Dassin's brutal prison drama <i>Brute Force</i>; Barbara Stanwyck at her duplicitous best in <i>The Strange Love of Martha Ivers</i>; and several other choice noirs. This series now enters its fourth installment with a trio of movies available on both VHS and DVD: <i>Strange Impersonation</i> (1946), an early Anthony Mann thriller; <i>The Long Night</i> (1947), an American reworking of Marcel Carne's classic <i>Le Jour se leve</i> (1939); and <i>Behind Locked Doors</i> (1948), a "Poverty Row" thriller directed by Budd Boetticher. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
