Set in post Second World War Britain, Noose is the story of black market racketeers who face attempts to bring them to justice by an American fashion journalist, her ex-army fiancée and a gang of honest toughs from a local gym. When a corpse turns up at black market front The Blue Moon Club, Yank reporter Carole Landis starts snooping, much to gang boss Joseph Calleia’s annoyance. And soon there’s a hit man on the way…

Viewing Notes
Also known as The Silk Noose, which is a more appropriate title. This kinda noir is jam-packed, overwrought and breakneck paced. Parts of it I like quite a bit but it’s often bogged down by its own weight. It feels like a serial jammed into a feature length movie.
