Support the label’s amazing work by picking up a copy. The set is limited to 6,000 copies and will sell out sooner rather than later. www.powerhousefilms.co.uk/collections/frontpage/products/columbia-noir-5-humphrey-bogart-le

Indicator’s box sets are always incredible and truly feel quite special, with a ton of love and care put into them. Plus their graphic designer is absolutely top notch; I love their use of original artwork in a new and interesting way.

Yes, a thousand percent yes. You get that feeling emanating from the box when it's in your hands. They've elevated the usage of vintage stills and posters to something unique in their packaging especially on the boxsets.

I feel like you deserve some kind of nomination for this Spencer, it really is thorough and most importantly never boring. I received my copy on Wednesday but have not had time to delve in yet, your video has served as an EPIC teaser! Please check out Solitary Ronin's channel he did a review for The Family Secret from this set.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your copy!!! I’m glad you said that about not being boring. I was afraid the length might be a bit too much when I finished editing…but it’s Bogie and Indicator so why not indulge?🤣 Oh cool I’ll definitely check that other video out. It’ll be nice to hear others opinions on the film. It’s so obscure that I’m still amazed it was included in this set.

Wow... Once again, Spencer, a real tour de force--great job! I just received both this set and the Mae West in the post about a week ago. Really looking forward to diving into the Bogie, even more so after your video. I'm hoping that Indicator will do SAHARA ( one of my favorite wartime Bogies) sometime soon. I'm sure the commentary for SIROCCO mentions that Gerald Mohr, one of the featured players, was the voice of Philip Marlowe on the radio for CBS (In fact, Mohr's appearance in "the Santana production of SIROCCO" was frequently touted in the promo spots for the show)...

Thank you! Oh gosh I’ve hoped someone would do Sahara for some time. I don’t think they mentioned that fact. I’ve not yet tried the Marlowe radio episodes so that makes it much more enticing!

@@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader They're a lot of fun. I grew up in Hollywood, so it's always fun to hear Marlowe rattle off street names I used to live on in his voiceover narration. Van Heflin played Marlowe in the initial few episodes until Mohr took over. I actually preferred Mohr, who brought a touch of humor to the role that Heflin lacked. Of course Marlowe was the Jim Rockford of his day, getting the crap beat out of him or at least hit on the head once an episode. If he'd been real rather than fictional, Robson probably could have used Old Marlowe as one of the punch drunk fighters in THE HARDER THEY FALL...

@@davidosborn6714 that makes me think of how Welles gets the mention for The Shadow on radio but for me Bill Johnstone was able to flesh it out a bit more and did many more seasons than Orson got to. The joke I always make is: how in the heck do the Hardy Boys survive one book with their endless concussions? 🤣

Thanks for the very thorough review, I'm totally getting this which will be my first Indicator box. Seems like a great way into his stuff, I've only seen maybe the 10 most famous ones with The Big Sleep, Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Casablanca my favourites so far (all three on my top 100 movies). Wouldn't mind at all if they eventually make a second Bogie set. :)

You’re in for a treat. The Columbia films all have a different flavor to them-and remain fascinating for Bogie fans. These are a perfect way to experience and get a feel for some of the lesser discussed films in his filmography. You’ll get hooked on these boxes for the quality and extras though. 3 and 4 are still available and 1 and 2 are being reissued as standard editions. They’re doing a universal box next but it’s probable a Columbia #6 would happen.

Wish they had added Sahara instead of The Family Secret. OK it s a war movie and not noir , but neither is TFS.Hope these titles get individual releases, not sure i need all these films. Still, a great box set and hope they keep them coming ! And your video's of course !

I too hope Sahara gets a spiffy release at some point. Hopefully from a new 4K Sony restoration. Theme wise it didn't fit the Noir set where The Family Secret was able to. The other non-Bogie Santana film certainly didn't...imagine And Baby Makes Three tucked in a noir set! Once the boxes sell out Indicator releases standard versions a few months later. The ones for the OOP volumes 1 and 2 have recently released. To be honest though the cost of getting the set vs standalones isn't that much different and the packaging plus exclusive book are really worthwhile.

Hi Spencer. Just discovered your great channel. I have all five volumes. They really are remarkable. Have you seen the Criterion Zatoichi box set ? Another stunner. Also the Criterion Scorsese World Cinema boxes are great but slightly lacking compared to the Indicator noir !

Hi, what i dont understand is that you say a lot of the films in this set were trying to be Casablanca, i thought that Casablanca was a massive flop when it was released, why try to mirror a movie that flopped on its initial release.
@DamnFoolIdealisticCrusader

I’m not sure where you heard that but Casablanca was certainly not a flop and did much better than expected financially when it went on wide release in 1943. It was used as a template for many other films for years afterward.
