Noir
4.5 stars
After a rocky opening, this one gets going in a huge way. It must be said that Laird Cregar, for my money, steals the show as an obsessed cop that reminded me a lot of Forest Whittaker as Cavanaugh in The Shield. There are a few times when the lighting inventiveness is stunning, and really capture what noir lighting is all about. The story about a murdered model is done in a fairly complex way. Overall, the movie has a similar feel to The Night of the Hunter, in the stark, Gothic contrast.
