    Default Fox film Noir ?? how many ?

    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 more titles were rumored to be part of collection, but never released. The Brasher Doubloon was stuck in the rights dispute and Inferno (1953) had a trailer on the last 2 titles in the collection, but was never released.

    Most of the Fox Noir titles are being sold for only 5.99 at Amazon.

    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.
