Columbia Noir #3 (Blu-ray Limited Edition) (Powerhouse Films) [UK]
- Thread starter Bjarkan
- Start date
Not a huge fan of the cover art on this one. I kind of reacted the same way as the gentleman himself, getting a spotlight straight in his face. Maybe it's just me? I haven't seen any of these films so i might just not get it.
I think these would be a better choise..

Or even muted the background colour of the box for this photo. All that red in anyone’s would blind...
Some crazy colors from in the Indicator series. The first one in yellow is not as bright at the product photo. I got a confirmation yesterday that the second is on the way
I will try and take a good photo of them together on my shelf.Attachments
