One of the great names among film noir directors has to be Robert Siodmak, a man who made a series of hugely impressive pieces of dark cinema throughout the 1940s. The first of those stylish and influential works was Phantom Lady, which I wrote about here some years ago. It's satisfying to see this film now getting a very attractive release on Blu-ray in the UK via Arrow Academy.
