TRUE CRIME RETURNED TO IT’S PULP FICTION ORIGINS
Iconic stories from the age of Noir, (1930s–1950s), from the ‘Lonely Hearts Killers’ to ‘Murder Incorporated’, delivered in the cynical, pitiless hard-boiled voice of the great crime novelists of the era – Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, James M Cain and Patricia Highsmith… and with the visual flair and blackly comic drama of the Cohen Brothers.

Our uniquely restored colour footage sets the epic stage. Stabilised, frame rate corrected, and sharpened in a way that turns grainy super 8 and 16 mil into a crisply detailed 4K window on the real mean streets of New York almost a century ago.

The dialogue and scenes are lifted and adapted straight from contemporary police and court statements, testimony, and newspaper accounts. Real stories, real drama relayed to us by our Storyteller, (Colm Meaney).

UK Premiere Monday 30th October 2023 – Sky History
