So Sweet...So Perverse (1969), an Umberto Lenzi giallo starring Carroll Baker. With delightfully twisted nasty plot twists coming thick and fast. You can't take anybody in this movie at face value. Decadence, betrayal and murder. Great stuff.

Midnight Lace is a 1960 Ross Hunter-produced US crime film set in London which gave Doris Day her last, and best, serious dramatic role. It's almost a proto-giallo, but with echoes of GASLIGHT. A top-notch mystery/suspense/psychological thriller.

The Man with the Glass Eye (1969) is a late entry in Rialto's German Edgar Wallace krimi cycle. Maybe not the equal of the classic early krimis (and with a bit more blood) but rather enjoyable with some nice slightly surreal touches.

Umberto Lenzi's Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (1972) is sometimes seen as a very late krimi but it's more of a giallo. It was based on Cornell Woolrich’s novel Rendezvous in Black. It's fairly clued and it ticks the right giallo boxes.

Murderers Club of Brooklyn (1967), 5th of the German crime movies (set in the US) featuring G-Man Jerry Cotton. This time he's faced with a kidnapping. Some nasty twists in this one. Stylish, energetic and fun with a nice 60s vibe.

Accidental Death (1963), a solid entry in the British Edgar Wallace crime thriller cycle. The plot has some far-fetched elements but it’s enjoyable and has a few oddball touches that do give it an Edgar Wallace flavour.

The Asphalt Jungle (1950), John Huston’s faithful and excellent adaptation of W.R. Burnett’s great novel. An excellent film noir about a heist. Fine performance by Sterling Hayden. Marilyn Monroe has a bit part.

Film noir doesn't get any better than Edgar G. Ulmer’s bleak masterpiece of cinematic deception Detour (1945). Everything is against this poor schmuck. That's his story and he's sticking to it. Watch out for dames with claws.

The Verdict (1964) is a British Edgar Wallace B-movie. It concerns a gangster and a dubious visa which is a clue to a murder 20 years earlier. Well-made, well-acted, fast-moving, witty and clever with an intricate plot that works perfectly.

The Great Flamarion is an early (1945) Anthony Mann film noir. Erich von Stroheim, Dan Duryea and Mary Beth Hughes do a trick-shooting theatrical show but sexual jealousy and guns can be a nasty combination. Fine performances, good movie.

Ricochet (1963) is one of the many Edgar Wallace crime thrillers from England’s Merton Park Studios and it's a typical entry in that cycle. In other words it’s an excellent little B-movie. A solicitor decides to blackmail his own wife.

The Woman in Green (1945), the 11th Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie and a good, rather dark, film. An original story that borrows elements from several Conan Doyle tales. London is terrorised by Jack the Ripper copycat murders.

Raoul Walsh's High Sierra (1941) made stars of both Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino and it's an important proto-noir. Bogart and Lupino are both mixed up in a disastrous bank robbery and then they're on the run in the great outdoors.

Lacks the true noir visual style but it's a great movie.

The Organization is the final film in the Virgil Tibbs trilogy.

It all started with the adaptation of “In the Heat of The Night” then “They Call Me Mr Tibbs!”. All of them are based on the novel series by John Ball but don’t stick too much to them after Night.

Though the sequels don’t stand out as much as the phenomenal Night, Sidney Poitier is still wonderful to watch as the Lieutenant solving murders in San Francisco way before Don Siegel’s Dirty Harry and with way more smarts and class.

What stands out in part three here are the opening and closing scenes that are executed without dialogue and purely visual.

Also the score, heck any 70s crime film score, rocks out with that funky bass that I love so much from back then. The score is even used for sound fx.

Number Six (1962), one of the low-budget British Edgar Wallace B-movies made at Merton Park Studios.

The police are rather interested in a Mr Valentine. His rich girlfriends seem to keep dying.

This one has a very clever and deliciously nasty little plot.
