Another clue for image # 6. Film debut for the star of the film which also featured an unbilled film debut for a famous actor along with the feature film debut of an actor who had popular television police series in the 1970s.
Yes it is. The original U.S. title was Kansas City Confidential and was released in 1952. The U.K. release title was The Secret Four but we were a bit lazy here or should I say a mistake was made in the designing or printing stage.

Why do you think a mistake was made? I have noticed that for some films where a specific US city is referenced in the title, the Aussie release paper uses the alternate title - like in this case. Another example is Killer That Stalked New York where Frightened City was used. For me at least it makes sense that specific US city names were left off the Aussie paper on purpose...
Sorry you have misunderstood what I said. I wasn't referring to the original U.S. title but to the Australian daybill titled Secret Four and not The Secret Four as it was in the U.K. In other words they left ''the '' off the Australian daybill. Sorry I should have been a little clearer in what I was saying. What you mentioned about US city changes is correct although certain films such as The Houston Story and New Orleans After Dark weren't changed.

My Noir list only runs from 1941 (Maltese Falcon) to 1958 (Touch of Evil)
Not all the titles I have provided images for are classified as film noir but I did state at the start of the quiz '' The first of some great film noir / crime / gangster related images''. I have decided along with my other quizzes to give them a rest due to a slowing down in interest taken in them over the last few days even when some great clues were provided in a few cases. I need a rest anyway. If some requests come forth I may revive them sometime down the track.

That explains why u never pulled the trigger on New Orleans After Dark daybill. It was released in US a month after Touch of Evil.. just missing the cut off
