Kiss of Death (US, 1947)

Upper-crust noir-ish piece in which a convict agrees to play ball with the cops and testify against his erstwhile partners in crime.

It's nicely, clearly filmed and care-aboutable enough to watch in one sitting.

A straightforward crime yarn, it's got me wondering: did the earlier noirs have can't-make-head-nor-tail-of it "plots", the mid/later period relatively conventional, easy-to-follow ones?
