Does anyone know how many Titles are in the Fox film Noir collection ?? were there 24 of them ? I am trying to complete my collection & i notice they are Numbered on the spine ..... I know they had started a site that is now gone (http://www.foxhome.com/filmnoir) , just kind looking for a listing in order etc.

Also on the same type of subject who else has done series of Noir films ?? I know about Fox , Universal ,MGM film noir and the Warner boxed sets , any other companies that had series with Multiple titles of the classics ?

Thanks for any info you can provide , i really appreciate it .

Two classics from Universal, " Criss Cross " and " This Gun for Hire " are available at Amazon for a decent price, if you don't already have them.

I believe some of the Fox titles don't have numbers on their spines making it super annoying for collectors.
