Private Property
Streaming video - 1960
Two homicidal Southern California drifters (played to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey Allen) wander off the beach and into the seemingly-perfect Beverly Hills home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this long-lost film noir gem written & directed by *The Outer Limits* creator Leslie Stevens. Shot through with shimmering sexual tension and lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), PRIVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. *"It's a disturbing film, not just because of the drifters' ugly plot, but because of the detailed portrait of American desperation, delusion and ...loneliness that it paints."* - Matt Zoller Seitz, ***RogerEbert.com*** *"A fascinating mélange of cinematic semiotics."* - Glenn Kenny, ***The New York Times***
