Film Noir Collection Volume 3 Limited Edition John Farrow Limited edition

Collection of four classic film noir features. In 'Calcutta' (1946), pilots Neale Gordon (Alan Ladd) and Pedro Blake (William Bendix) investigate upon learning that their friend and fellow pilot Bill Cunningham (John Whitney) has been murdered. When Neale uncovers a smuggling operation involving their planes, he fears that Bill's fiancée, Virginia Moore (Gail Russell), knows more about Bill's death than she's letting on.

'Ride the Pink Horse' (1947) sees WWII veteran Lucky Gagin (Robert Montgomery) travel to a remote town in New Mexico in search of mobster Frank Hugo (Fred Clark). Hugo killed his best friend and now Gagin wants revenge, but FBI agent Bill Retz (Art Smith) is also hunting Hugo and soon, the situation escalates beyond Gagin's control. In 'Outside the Law' (1956), ex-con Johnny (Ray Danton) is given a chance at redemption when he is sent undercover to infiltrate a dangerous counterfeiting operation that cost Johnny's friend his life.

However, if he is to succeed, he will have to work with the cop who sent him to jail: his father. Finally, 'The Female Animal' (1958) finds movie star Vanessa Windsor (Hedy Lamarr) falling for extra Chris Farley (George Nader) after meeting him on set. She becomes involved with the younger man but complications abound when Chris also becomes entangled with Vanessa's adult daughter, Penny (Jane Powell).
