20th Century Fox Film Noir

20th Century Fox Film Noir refers to a collection of films released on DVD by 20th Century Fox. The series, a spinoff of the earlier Fox Studio Classics line, premiered in March 2005, with the releases of inaugural titles Call Northside 777, Laura, and Panic in the Streets. Like the earlier Studio Classics line, Fox Film Noir DVDs are numbered on their spines.

DVDs in the Series

Unique to this series, Boomerang was recalled shortly before its release, although a small amount of copies had already made their way onto store shelves. A re-release has been announced for September 2008.

Black Widow, Call Northside 777, Dangerous Crossing and Laura had been reissued and repackaged in Fox's Classic Quad series.

Fox Noirs Released by Criterion

Currently, three film noir titles released by 20th Century Fox are available on DVD, but are not released by Fox as part of the Film Noir series. Instead, they are selections in The Criterion Collection DVD line. These three films are Night and the City, Pickup on South Street, and Thieves' Highway.
