(aka "Cry Innocent" )
directed by Abner Biberman
USA 1956
|
Hour by hour, the net of TERROR tightens! Elegant, exotic beauty Merle Oberon (The Lodger) plays against type in the unpredictable film noir The Price of Fear. A woman guilty of a hit-and-run accident frames another person for the crime, but soon is implicated in a far worse situation with a gangster who uses blackmail to lure her into a murder plot. Wonderfully directed by Abner Biberman (Gun for a Coward) and beautifully shot by Irving Glassberg (The Tarnished Angels), with a stellar cast that features Lex Barker (The Girl in Black Stockings), Charles Drake (Female on the Beach), Gia Scala (The Guns of Navarone) and Warren Stevens (Deadline - U.S.A.). The Price of Fear is a classic thriller that will leave you guessing until the shocking climax. *** A co-owner of a race track goes on the run after witnessing something he shouldn't have at the track. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel mono track (16-bit) in the original
English language. It is another advancement in the film's audio and
tension-filled score by Heinz Roemheld (Ruby
Gentry,
I,
Jane Doe, Dangerous,
The
Monster that Challenged The World, The
Land Unknown,
The Mole People, 1933's
The Invisible Man) with consistent, audible, dialogue. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Kino
Blu-ray
has only a 19-second trailer for the film and two other film trailers -
nothing more.
I'm a big fan of this one. The 'Noir' is
quite heavy in The Price of Fear. A femme fatale exposed by her
trying desperately to avoid responsibility for her mistake. Fate gave
her an opportunity - she took it - but it also left her no outs as the
web of lies was forced to expand. I find The Price of Fear
a very rewatchable Noir I am very happy
to own on Blu-ray.
It is a very welcome addition to
Kino's Film Noir: The Dark
Side Of Cinema II boxset.
P.S.
This gal at the bar sure looks familiar! |
