Seems like Warner Archive in the coming weeks will add remastered editions of Inside the Folsom Prison and The Window.
A new company Twilight Time has struck a deal with Twentieth Century Fox to release a DVD a month including Violent Saturday. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...,3289441.story
The Prowler has dropped to a price of $13.99 (pre-order) on Amazon!
Nice. The Window is excellent. Proto Noirs Blondie Johnston, Heat Lightning, and 1961's Girl of the Night are also worth the watch.Seems like Warner Archive in the coming weeks will add remastered editions of Inside the Folsom Prison and The Window.

Wow. Kansas City Confidential on Blue Ray? Unreal...
A lot is going to depend on what kind of source material they've been able to use. MGM had access to original, early-generation elements for their 2007 DVD, and it's beautiful, miles beyond any of the previous PD or gray-market versions. I see it's only $3.98 at Amazon, a terrific bargain.
Olive Films will release William Dieterle's 1949 Noir ROPE OF SAND, starring Burt Lancaster in April.
Criterion is releasing Le Cercle Rouge on Blu-ray April 12
New noir and noirish titles from the Warner Archive tomorrow:
Bodyguard (1948)
Chicago Calling (1952)
Twenty Plus Two (1961)

Thanks for the heads up Frankie!
The Bodyguard (1948) is not a bad little RKO B-picture, with Lawrence Tierney
Chicago Calling (1952) Dan Duryea wants his phone turned back on, or something like that, can't completly remember. Somewhat norish, but more of a drama.
Twenty Plus Two (1961) never heard of it, sounds like I'll have to do some research.
The next wave of MGM's made-on-demand discs has been announced for mid-March. Noir and near-noir titles include The Captive City, Cop Hater, Not as a Stranger (Gloria Grahame and Robert Mitchum alert!)
Big House USA and 99 River Street have now been released

Excellent review of The Prowler DVD from our friend Glenn Erickson... http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s3425prow.html
Note Alan's comment at the bottom about Cry Danger! coming next to DVD!!!
Now this is the kind of news that I like to hear.
Got my copy of The Prowler, looking forwards to seeing it. Can't wait for Cry Danger.
Just finished watching my DVD copy of The Prowler and it's fantastic. The print looks great and it's stuffed with extras including a video of the restoration of the Prowler. This is the way I want Noir on DVD for now on.
Last night I watched The Prowler and thought it looked Fantastic also !
I did not notice any combing effects, it looked pretty clean to me .
Only thing I noticed was at the 1 Hour 17 minute mark when they show Heflin's car outside the ghost town the film hipcups or hesitates a split second . Why is that?....is it where one reel of film ends and the next begins? I ask because you don't see this on most DVDs but occasionally you do. Also noticed the same thing on the new Appointment With Danger DVD.
