Digitally Remastered From Archive Material

Adultery, amnesia, insanity, murder and guilt are just some of the common themes of these three film noir gems from top directors James Kern, Busby Berkeley (in his only non-musical film) and Arthur Lubin.

Films Include:
Impact (1949)
Irene Williams (Helen Walker) schemes with her lover (Tony Barrett) to kill her husband Walter (Brian Donlevy) in an "accidental" car crash. The plan fails, and the lover is killed. When Walter is assumed to have died in the crash, he changes his name and starts over again in a small town, falling in love with his boss. Disaster looms when a detective suspects Williams of murdering his wife's lover.

They Made Me A Criminal (1939)
Busby Berkeley directs this remake of The Life of Jimmy Dolan, the tale of a world champion boxer who wrongfully believes he killed another man in a drunken fight and goes to the lam. A bunch of troubled kids act as a psychological mirror as he recognizes his own problems and attempts to redeem himself.

The Second Woman (1951)
Jeff Cohalon (Robert Young) blames himself for a strange accident that killed his fiancée on their wedding night. Circumstances surrounding the accident could convince him that he's responsible, but one person is not convinced of his guilt.
