Hammer Film Noir Collector s Set Bad Blonde Blackout The Gambler and the Lady Heat Wave Man Bait Stolen Face

In 1950, Hammer Films set up a deal with American Producer Robert L. Lippert to produce low-budget crime dramas to be made in the UK. Lippert would send over a shop-worn Hollywood star or promising American newcomer to give the films box-office appeal in the states, supported by the usual fine casts of British character actors that make most British movies worth watching. This five-year arrangement produced over a dozen well-made little B-noirs that seemed to have fallen through the film history cracks.....until now. Films included in the Collection are Bad Blonde (1953), Man Bait (1952), A Stolen Face (1952), Blackout (1954), The Gambler and the Lady (1952) and Heat Wave (1954).
