Product Details
Vince Edwards (Murder by Contract) and John Archer (Decision at Sundown) face off in the explosive City of Fear, a violent and shocking film noir classic. When drug dealer Vince busts out of San Quentin, he takes a canister he believes to contain heroin… but it actually contains a payload of deadly radioactive Cobalt, enough to vaporise most of Los Angeles, if the police can’t track him down. Directed by Irving Lerner (Murder by Contract), and shot by the great Lucien Ballard (Buchanan Rides Alone), City of Fear is a tense film noir which, as with Robert Aldrich’s Kiss Me Deadly, taps into the anxieties of the nuclear age.Special Features
