Olive Films continues to impress with its brisk release schedule as they have announced the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Shack Out on 101 (1955).

Olive is certainly picking up the slack of some of the major studios which have virtually non-existent output, or have pushed out their catalog on MOD without remastering and/or the proper aspect ratio.

This release, as with all of Olive's recent releases, is newly remastered and is in the original 1.78:1 aspect ratio.



An attractive waitress (Terry Moore) at a seaside café gets caught in a web of treacherous intrigue when she discovers that her workplace is a secret station for spies. It seems that the café is close to an experimental lab that harbors national defense secrets and a frantic ring of sinister spies have come to steal them.

It’s now up to the desperate waitress and a network of undercover FBI agents to stop the diabolical scheme, but not before they all stop along the way for a sizzling round of passion and romance. The stellar cast includes Hollywood legend Lee Marvin (Point Blank), Frank Lovejoy (The Americano), Keenan Wynn (The Mechanic) and Whit Bissell (He Walked by Night). Stylishly directed by cult director Edward Dein (Curse of the Undead) and beautifully shot in glorious black-and-white by the great Floyd Crosby (High Noon).

Check into a hotbed of lethal cloak and dagger in Shack Out on 101.

They will retail for $24.96 each, but are available at ClassicFlix.com for only $19.99 each.

Bad Girls of Film Noir, Vol. 1

In the 40's and 50's the juiciest roles for actresses in Hollywood were often in B-pictures that explored the dark side of life: starring roles as cool, calculating gals who could stick a knife in a man's back and make him like it. Lizabeth Scott, Gloria Grahame, and Evelyn Keyes were some of the best of the period, and are among Noir fans' favorites for their roles in such classics of the genre as Dead Reckoning and The Racket (Scott), The Big Heat and Human Desire (Grahame), 99 River Street and The Prowler (Keyes).

Here's your chance to see them at work in some great films straight out of the vault, newly restored and re-mastered, for the first time on DVD. Co-starred with the likes of Edmond O'Brien, Charlton Heston, and Vittorio Gassman these dames shine a like the brightest stars in Hollywood, and each film packs in plenty of the best bad girl behavior.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Terry Moore on Two of a Kind
• The Payoff-All Star Theatre Episode

Bad Girls of Film Noir, Vol. 2

Cleo Moore, Audrey Totter, Jan Sterling, Ida Lupino and Janis Carter. Forgery, adultery, theft, blackmail and murder. The Bad Girls of Noir are back, in Volume 2, and these gorgeous gals with malice in their hearts are sure to thrill hard-boiled fans of Noir.

Fan favorite Cleo Moore finally gets her due in three films that highlight the talents of the beauty who was compared to Marilyn Monroe, but whom fans love for her earnest, if stilted portrayals of dim-witted gals who can't catch a break. Four films, restored and re-mastered are all new to DVD, and sure to provide plenty of excitement for the noir aficionado. Watch out for these gals, they're dangerous--which makes them oh, so fun to watch.

BONUS FEATURE:

• Remember to Live-All Star Theatre Episode
