302 - MURDER BY CONTRACT (1958) + BLAST OF SILENCE (1961)

Added 2023-11-11 19:09:26 +0000 UTC

Hosts Josh and Jamie continue Noirvember with a double feature of focused, compact, offbeat and early existential hitman B-noir procedurals with a double feature of Irving Lerner's detached, relaxed almost documentary approach to his transactional killer in MURDER BY CONTRACT (1958) and Allen Baren's more ruthlessly cold, dour and hateful variation on a similar protagonist in BLAST OF SILENCE (1961).

See you all in a week's time where we'll be back with a special guest continuing Noirvember with KISS ME DEADLY (1955) and THE MAN WHO STOLE THE SUN (1979). Keep it sleazy!
