I won't go into giving a synopsis of this movie, others have already done so quite well. I'm a film noir buff and "Kiss of Death" is certainly among the film noir classics. This film made Richard Widmark a star and is, without a doubt, the best role Victor Mature ever played in his career. Brian Donlevy, is probably more well known for playing characters on the wrong side of the law, but does a fine job as the DA in this movie. This is film noir at it's best. Other highly recommended film noir classics: "Double Indemnity", "Laura", "Murder, My Sweet", "The Killers" (Lancaster), "The Big Sleep", "Out of the Past", "Kiss Me Deadly", "The Big Heat", "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "The Killing", and "The Asphalt Jungle".

Wake Island, a sandbar rising 21 feet out of the South Pacific, was among the first U.S. outposts to be hit by the Japanese, virtually simultaneously with Pearl Harbor. Wake Island the movie was among Hollywood's earliest responses to America's being attacked and drawn into WWII. The Marine Corps defenders of Wake became instant war heroes, akin to the martyrs of the Alamo. Nothing could be done to rescue or even to reinforce and resupply them, and they fought on through air attacks and naval bombardment for two weeks until, finally overrun, they were wiped out.
That searing historical context had a lot to do with the movie's impact in 1942, and the sight of the dark forms of enemy planes coming over the horizon for the first time still carries a shock. Wake Island's... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Brian Donlevy - Robert Preston Director(s): John Farrow DVD Release Date: Released the 25 May 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Impact has a very simple plot Walter Williams is marked for death by his cheating wife but when the plans go wrong and Williams is alive the film plays a great game of catchup! Donlevy is the star of the flick and he does more to draw you into the flick than dialogue ever could. He may not be tall but he has an imposing facing! His eyes and strong facial structure is a sight to see! I have to say that the film could have been shorter but in doing this some amazing cinematography would have been lost the image of a prisoned Willams (Donlevey) looking through a gate at his future love is amazing and the scene where his lover chases a woman who is crucial in freeing Williams of a crime through the narrow streets and shadows of chinatown is perfection. Impact may not be perfect but is is a...

Considered by many critics to be the finest in the series, Hammer's second Quatermass feature (adapted from the television serial by Nigel Kneale) is a subversive alien invasion story. Professor Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) stumbles onto a top-secret government base near a rural location that has been inundated by a steady stream of meteors. His investigations, which are met with distrust by suspicious townspeople and outright hostility by the base guards, uncover a conspiracy originating in the highest reaches of government. With few he can trust and fewer he can convince of his suspicions, Quatermass decides to meet the menace head-on. Director Val Guest, who cowrote the screenplay with Kneale, loads his film with fascinating detail (the whiz of the falling meteors--actually space...
