'Night and the City' and 'Thieves Highway'

The artistic tragedy of Jules Dassin's being blacklisted in Hollywood after 1949's swiftly compelling 'Thieves' Highway' is leavened somewhat by the fact that the 94-year-old director is still around to partake in the contemporary celebration of his dashing noir oeuvre

Divorce Italian Style

With loyalty to such cinematic emperors as Fellini, Pasolini, and Antonioni, the Criterion Collection's devotion to post-war Italian masterpieces is serious business. Seriously buffo, comico, spiritoso in the case of neo-realist Pietro Germi's 'Divorzio all'Italiana' (1962).
