Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of three titles as part of Film Noir Wave 2 due on 7th June 2005. Priced at $14.98 SRP each are...
House of Bamboo (1955)

Features include:
Nightmare Alley (1947)
Directed by Edmund Goulding, and based on the book written by William Gresham on his experiences with the 'carnies' of the 1930's Nightmare Alley features a fantastic performance by the great Tyrone Power.
Features include:
The Street With No Name (1948)
Delivering the ultimate address for suspense, The Street With No Name stars Lloyd Nolan, Richard Widmark, Mark Stevens, Barbara Lawrence and Ed Begley in the story of a dogged investigator and his new recruit trying to uncover the connection between two brutal gang killings.

As for Nightmare Alley, what can I say? I have been waiting for this movie for years, and here it is. The waiting was worth it. It made my day!

why not buy the r1s????????? I bought 'Laura' and the other two for about £3.70 each The r2s will probably cost more than a tenner, have rubbish artwork and lose the extras. Pic quality will be worse too
because my girlfriends dad is one of the UKs top people at a high street dvd retailer so he gets me them for free, which is why I now have this addiction :( I'd buy it region 1 if I knew it definitly wasn't coming to the UK. I was about to do that with the Warner Gangsters collection until I found out that it was it coming to R2 (well James Cagney Signature... plus the other 2) :D
