Ashamed I'd never seen it
As a huge noir buff, I'm ashamed to say I just watched this for the
first time last night. Oh, my... what a beauty. When it started,
thoughts of Ed Wood entered my mind. They were quickly pushed aside by
the stunning film work and soundtrack. This thing is a lost gem, no
doubt about it.
It blew me away. I put on another old noir afterwards, and I couldn't
watch it. It just seemed so drab and ordinary next to what I'd just
watched.
Today is another day, and the beauty of this film is still in my head.
