Yet another fantastic noir, with an original take on the sequence of a murder. There's all the classic features of noir here - great one-liners, stark photography, a fast, nowhere plot. This viewed legally for free online at archive.org - only whinge is that the quality is poor.
It's interesting that the term film noir was applied retrospectively. In the same way that Nirvana or My Bloody Valentine "just made" their second albums, there was a time when Hollywood "just made" these movies. What a great period it was.
