'They met in the dark' based on the novel 'The vanishing corpse' by Anthony Gilbert. 'Snowbound' based on the novel 'The lonely skier' by Hammond Innes. 'Golden salamander' based on the novel by Victor Canning. 'The assassin' based on the novel 'Venetian bird' by Victor Canning.
Originally released as motion pictures between 1943 and 1952.
"This edition of 'Snowbound' was derived from a master suffering from moderate deterioration. Since the original film elements were not accessible for remastering, it is presented here in its less-than-ideal form as a complimentary bonus feature in 'Rank Noir.'"
