The Sniper (Blu-ray, Region Free, Film-Noir Classic, Directed by Edward Dmytryk)

Description: Seller's Note: Even though back cover states "Region B", this copy is actually Region Free. As often happens, the original artwork (designed in Australia in this case) is not changed to denote Region Free compatibility. Despite the film's focus on the psychological aspects of the story, The Sniper still has the no-nonsense approach and fast-paced style of a superior B-movie suspense thriller. Arthur Franz, an excellent character actor who rarely got the opportunity to prove himself in leading roles, is both creepy and sympathetic as the mentally disturbed Eddie... The Sniper performed poorly at the box office but its reputation is considerably better today where it is recognized as not just a tautly-directed film-noir but a critique of contemporary society and urban alienation inviting comparisons to Martin Scorsese’s later Taxi Drive.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 to track him down. This noir pits the rationalism of law and psychiatry against the irrationality of post-traumatic stress and compulsive homicide.
