Viewing Notes

My first film of the Noir City festival. Funny how Eddie Muller, the head of the Noir Foundation, intros and sets up the movie to be super awful yet it’s very entertaining.

This movie made me think about Film Noir bingo which would be fun to do in a large setting. So many noir elements happening here like the voice over exposition, twins, misdirection, jaded detective, etc. Really fun movie that has such an explicable ending given the entire build-up.
