Enjoy two classic gritty noirs
FOR ME, KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL (1952) ticks all the boxes for an excellent little noir.
It is produced on the cheap by Edward Small Productions for an established but financially troubled distributor United Artists which, at the time, does not have a production studio of its own.
The cast is full of no names with the exception of lead John Payne who says he commands 25% of the profits to be in the thing.
The director is Phil Karlson who is an assistant director for 12 years and no one wants to give him a crack at sitting in the director’s chair so he goes off to fight World War II.
