Film Description

Fairly bristling with ferocious intent and cold war menace, Aldrich's film noir classic drags Mike Hammer into a mystery involving a young woman's disappearance, haunting echoes of Christina Rossetti, brutal villains and the search for a vital suitcase. The ending is a blinder. The definitive film noir of the 50s.

Review by CJ on 1st September 2001

As amoral, visually distinctive and compulsively watchable as Boormans Point Blank a decade later. Meeker's sleazy P.I. goes in search of a missing atomic device, appropriately dubbed the great wotsit. Apocalyptic finale, apocalyptic vision. Aldrichs greatest film.

classic film noir by eddie davies

I'm putting together a wish list for my 60th birthday and one of the genres i've always been interested in is film noir. I watched most of these in my old flea pit cinema in south wales but i'm sure they'll stand up well to viewing in DVD format. Comments and of course any essential titles i should add to mo list welcomed.
