I don't know where else to stick this, so here is the ultimate Criterion postcard: the Christmas card they sent us in 2003 and a handwritten note from the mysterious Jon Mulvaney:

I can see that (Breathless and Army of Shadows are among the Noir films included in the booklet), but I thought the inclusion of the booklets were random?
So when 'Technicolor' starts selling better they'll stuff more sets with those?
I also have Brazil, Le Samourai, Divorce Italian Style, Harlan County, Yi Yi, Grey Gardens and Green for Danger - all of which I would be willing to trade one-for-one for any Japanese titles. PM me if interested, thanks.

I never really thought of Army of Shadows as Noir. Am I alone in this thinking?

No, you're right. Army of Shadows isn't in the Noir booklet. It's in the Noir and Neonoir section of 'Explore' though, on Criterion's website.
So which Criterion noir titles are especially profitable right now? The Third Man? Okay, sure. Rififi? Mmm...
