Today\u2019s feature is CITY OF FEAR [1959], starring Vince Edwards, John Archer, Patricia Blair, and Steven Ritch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week it was &#8220;Ice Skating Noir&#8221;, this time it is &#8220;Nuclear Noir&#8221; (not actual subgenres to my knowledge).   In this film, Vince Edwards breaks out of San Quentin with a cannister he thinks contains heroin worth thousands. It doesn&#8217;t. It contains radioactive material. It reminds me of KISS ME DEADLY [1955]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Films in the 1950s, no matter what the genre, were obsessed with  radioactivity. This one gets bonus points for great shots of Los Angeles in this film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the movie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"City of Fear 1959 Featuring Vince Edwards, Lyle Talbot and Patricia Blair   Film Noir Full Movie\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6v1rKWXDuXs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome!
