Seen for the first time in August 2012.
This is about as generic an example of classic film noir as I can imagine. It’s a bit like watching a television show from 60 years ago. Sort of hokey. No stand out performances. Literally nothing stands out. I actually watched this film two weeks ago and am restructuring my thoughts from notes I jotted down afterward. I’ve already forgotten just about everything that happens in this film. Is this the one where the guy perfumes bullets?
The conclusion of the notes I took at the time are as follows: “Not bad, but cannot be recommended to anyone but buffs, and even then, it just feels unexceptional. Bad guy. The girl. The femme. None of it outstanding.” Grade C-.
