TopBilled Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I've been watching some crime films made by Columbia. The studio has an interesting style, particularly in this genre. Not all of them are standard noir but all of them are engaging even if the budgets are not huge and the plots are somewhat recycled. I have been going through each year of the studio's output to make sure I am familiar with each title and after compiling this list, I will be checking to see which ones are on YouTube or can be streamed somewhere else. Feel free to chime in if a title jumps out at you. Link to post Share on other sites
