Intimidation (1960)
Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara
Twitter Facebook Google+Thriller | Film Noir | Mystery
Overview
Koreyoshi Kurahara’s ingeniously plotted, pocket-size noir concerns the intertwined fates of a desperate bank manager, blackmailed for book-cooking, and his resentful but timid underling, passed over for a promotion. The marvelously moody Intimidation is an elegantly stripped-down and carefully paced crime drama.

Viewing Notes
Very nice, taunt thriller with plenty of turns to keep one guessing. Super impressing with how effective this compact film is. The angles only add to the suspense. Love seeing Kou Nishimura in this. Great start to my latest Eclipse set: Eclipse Series 28: The Warped World of Koreyoshi Kurahara.
