Subject: Unbelievable Film Noir
This is a interesting film noir movie with good cinematography and some nice music. The plot has some nice twists and turns, but there is never a real sense of danger, or emotion. There is also a lot of Raymond Chandlerish (or Robert B. Parker) tough talk and corny sayings in the narration.

Subject: Over and Under
This is a rare Noir-ish pic with both overblown and under-rated performances. Ann Savage is superb as a sass-mouth moll who finds herself at the helm of an unsteady ship of fools captained by an underappreciated Tom Neal. The film is interesting when viewed through the protagonist's perspective of the incredible events. The accidental death[s] more troubling, the girl more manipulative, the outcome more revealing. Few stories produce such an awkward, yet likable, hero [anti-hero?] as this. Truly the wrong man at the right time, but are you willing to take his word for it?
