Arlene Dahl, John Payne, Kent Taylor, Lance Fuller, Rhonda Fleming, Ted de Corsia - Director: Allan Dwan. Driven by blind ambition, fast-talking publicity man Ben Grace has found a way to smear the reputation of "reform" mayoral candidate Frank Jansen. He will do so by exposing Jansen's red-haired girlfriend, June, with her man-hungry kleptomaniac sister, Dorothy, who also happens to be a convict out on parole. In the process however, Ben finds himself falling for June and seduced by Dorothy, while crime boss Solly Caspar is breathing down his neck, expecting him to deliver on his promise. Allan Dwan takes on hard-boiled master James M. Cain in a film starring Arlene Dahl as Dorothy Lyons, a red-headed nymphomaniac looking for trouble. Hoping to smear Frank Jansen (Kent Taylor), the reform candidate for mayor in his city, crime syndicate boss Sol Caspar (Ted de Corsia) sends his top lieutenant Ben Grace (John Payne) to look into the private life of Jansen's secretary, June Lyons (Rhonda Fleming). He finds not only that she's involved with her boss, but that her sister Dorothy, a kleptomaniac who gets around, has just been released from prison. When Caspar murders a newspaper publisher who had supported Jansen, Ben, who is angling for Caspar's slot, supplies evidence of Caspar's involvement in the crime to June, and convinces her to accept his help in electing Jansen, making her believe he's now on the side of law and order. Meanwhile, Caspar is forced to flee and Ben takes over his job. Ben and June soon become involved, but their romance goes sour when Arlene, always in search of new friends, makes a move on the racketeer. Dahl gives one of her most unusual performances in the tight little noir, which features superb photography by John Alton.

THE EYE adapts the influential 2002 Hong Kong ghost tale by the Pang brothers into a star vehicle for Jessica Alba. While it remains faithful to the original story, this version ups the number of jolts for thrill-seeking Western audiences. Writing/directing team David Moreau and Xavier Palud, creators of the popular 2006 French thriller THEM, make their U.S. debut with a screenplay by Sebastian Gutierrez (SNAKES ON A PLANE), putting a few new twists on a cult favorite.
Concert violinist Sydney Wells (Alba) has been blind since she was five, when an accident involving firecrackers damaged her corneas. Now in her mid-20s, she has just undergone a transplant, a risky procedure that is not always successful. When the bandages come off, her sight slowly returns, and everything she sees is a new experience. A happy occasion becomes terrifying, though, when she begins to see horrifying visions of the dead. Fearing that she's losing her sanity, she enlists the help of Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola), who uncovers the identity of the donor of her new corneas and travels with her to Mexico ...
