Ahh... briskly paced, wonderfully hilarious, and always entertaining, this film is a prime example why B noir can be the ultimate film noir. Bad acting? Porous storyline? Shoddy production? They're great! A huge noted bonus here is Lawrence Tierney, who exhibits a mean streak that elevates this movie to a very memorable noir.PS: I took a video of intro with Elliot Lavine and ... some pulp author. It will be uploaded to youtube and embedded here soon.
