DOUBLE INDEMNITY REDUX

Just released: DOUBLE INDEMNITY -- SPECIAL EDITION DVD.   The transfer is cleaner than the 1998 DVD release, and there are some interesting extras, like a full length 1973 TV remake of the Billy Wilder classic starring the late Richard Crenna.

Also, check out the podcast from Clute and Edwards at OUT OF THE PAST:  INVESTIGATING FILM NOIR, for their analysis of Double Indemnity.

If you haven't seen Double Indemnity yet, you haven't seen film noir. 

WANTED: Ross Macdonald

   A BANG-UP JOB by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard with the twelve Ross Macdonald novels they re-published, but where are the rest?  Guess we'll have to keep rolling the dice on eBay to dig up those moldy old first-edition paperbacks.
