Title: An Excellent Film Noir
Product review: Raw Deal is one of my favorite Film Noir movies. The characters are gritty and real, the plot isn't predictable and the film was recreated by the artistic team of director Anthony Mann and cinematographer John Alton. Alton is famous for his dark moody Noir lighting and camerawork.The Sony Wonder/Classic Media disc is remastered so the image is crisper than the previous version of this movie available on DVD. This is a double-edged sword however as the film images were brightened and the contrast reduced during the remastering process. This might make the film more accessible to a mass audience, but much of the Noir feeling is lost.Even so, This is a good affordable version of this classic film.
