Attention! We are no longer recommending Robert's Hard to Find
Videos. After repeated phone calls and
emails, and
assurances from Robert Lightmoet that he'd send them right out or refund us the charge, we
never received the videos we ordered, nor the money he charged to our credit card. His videos truly
were hard to find. As was our cash. I've received emails from others with a similar experience.
Check here
for a history of problems. |

Also, a don't miss item for film noir and fiction fans is
Val Illustre's
Tour Noir. Val provides custom tours
of Los Angeles' 40's and 50's Film and Fiction Noir scenes. Her work was
well reviewed at
Digital City: Los Angeles. Next time
you're in L.A., try them out and let us
know how it went! (PS: Sadly, the above link seems dead, and I
haven't
heard back from Val in a while. Does anyone know if she still runs the
service?) |

Reader Volume 2 by Alain Silver and James Ursini, came out
