• The Sniper(1952)Filmed in San Francisco, this Stanley Kramer production is one of the earliest studies of a murderous psychopath who kills randomly and without motive, making it almost impossible for the police to track him down. This noir pits the rationalism of law and psychiatry against the irrationality of post-traumatic stress and compulsive homicide. Adolphe Menjou, Arthur Franz and Marie Windsor star under the taut direction of Edward Dmytryk.
• The Big Heat (1953)Fritz Lang's policier stars Glenn Ford as a loving husband and father driven by grief to conduct a relentless vendetta against mobster Alexander Scourby and his brutal henchman, Lee Marvin. Once dedicated to protect and serve, Ford sacrifices everything -- principles, career, and even the woman who comes to him for protection -- in a rage to destroy his gangland foes. With Gloria Grahame, Jocelyn Brando and a young Carolyn Jones.

Noir specialist Phil Karlson directs Novak, Guy Madison, Brian Keith, Kerwin Matthews, Alvy Moore and William Conrad.
• Murder by Contract(1958)Vince Edwards stars as a hired assassin whose latest "assignment" is about to testify against the mob. But this particular target is not so easy to get at. So he waits ... and waiting gives the assassin what he needs least: time to think.
• The Lineup(1958) This double narrative follows two criminals involved in a dope smuggling scheme and the police who follow their trail of violence and death across the city of San Francisco. Making brilliant use of space and architecture, the film features a wildly disorienting car chase that culminates on the then-unfinished Embarcadero Freeway -- literally, a road going nowhere. Don Siegel directs Eli Wallach as the cold-blooded hit man, with Warner Anderson and Emile Meyer as the cops hunting him down. Richard Jaeckel and Robert Keith co-star.
