Too Late For Tears is a decent film and for fans of Film Noir, it is a real kick. Lizabeth Scott leaves a trail of dead bodies, lies and deceit that is classic noir. She could have used better direction, but the film still holds up.

That said, this new release from the Image "Dark City" collection is so technically awfull, it is an example of outright fraud. At this price, to release such a poor transfer with sound like this constitues "Grand Theft Video". No effort has been made to clean-up any part of the film. You might expect this from a $2.00 Garage Sale purchase, but not from a new release. It looks like a simple copy of the horrid Alpha release.

If you like Film Noir, please join me in wrting Image Entertainment to let them know how offended you are by this flim-flam tactic. Enough Said.

I was not familiar with the work of Gene Ammons until I heard the "Nature Boy" track on our great Minneapolis all Jazz station KBEM. It was soooo goood that I called the station to find out about the artist and the cd. When I found the cd and listened for the first time, I quickly went online to buy more of Ammons' work. This disc is that good.

The album includes recordings originally done from 1954 to 1970. You'll hear Ammons lead different bands in various styles, doing material that ranges from covers to originals, but always with a master's sense of the blues and a harmonic touch that satisfies the soul.

There are NO poor cuts and the remastering is good.

If you enjoy great tenor saxophone with strong keyboard collaboration, this disc will knock you out. Unlike so many things in life, this album is the real deal.

Enjoy!
