Since I first saw/found this movie I have watched it at least a hundred times. Okay 54 times. I have a question. What is the name of the theme song played in this movie? (as an interesting aside too - Just tonight as I started watching, "Double Jeopardy" - the 1955 one) I noticed that the theme song was identical, or nearly so!?! Interesting. - off the subject but the intro to both movies, the visual, looking down, etc. and then the music too?! Deja vu when it started!) What is the name of this song???? Anyone? Thanks much!
If I understand you correctly not all shadowy old films can be called filmnoir, the ones that can be so called have to have themes of crime and moral corruption in them.
@@user-pt4ix4kd9l I don't think he's asking for a definition. I think he wants to know why everything gets called noir just because the cinematography involves the use of shadows.
It's branding. Fans of film noir will "pay" to watch them, so if you label your film "noir" you're guaranteed at least a certain amount of trade. Half the films I've seen labelled "noir" would be better served being called "melodramas with a crime in them somewhere."
A truly terrible film. Notwithstanding Barry Kelley, Dan Duryea, and Don DeFore, it's a festival of god-awful acting headed up by the truly terrible Lizabeth Scott. It's so hard to find films this ludicrously plotted it almost immediately descends into an insult to the audience's intelligence--even in the context of B movie noir. Even on THOSE terms most of the character behavior is so absurdly unbelievable you wish the film had never been "re-discovered." Better to have been flushed, instead.
An unnecessarily vicious review. You certainly have sharpened your knives for Lizabeth Scott, but this seems more a personal vendetta than an honest review of this excellent and WORTHWHILE restoration.

Love this movie
LOVE your user name! Classic film noir fan, you are!
@@Saru-v3w For to long to admit! Thanks for picking up on the name 😊
I love how Dan Duryea's thug, goes into this thinking he's going to bully a little housewife and ends up scared to death of her.
One correction: It's not set entirely in L.A. The last part is set in a Mexican resort.
Fantastic Film. Lizabeth Scott, like Lauren Bacall's better sister.
Thanks for doing these.
I'd appreciate less "shaky-cam" if you could. Thanks.
"break the wild wind!"
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of his imagination when he thought of that.

It's a great movie
any comments on how any black and white film and film shot in shadows etc just about any older film being labeled film noir
