Don't read the reviews comparing it to other films before watching it on it's own merits, which are many. A damn fine Noir which isn't beholding to any other.
IMDb requires ten lines of text, but instead of impressing you with my opinions, I'll do this:
Kim Novak is stunning physically and memorable performance wise.
Fred Mc Murray is excellent on the northern-edge of his leading man days.
The first 3 minutes are perfect.
Really, the first 3 minutes make it worth watching.
LA at night, the land that built noir.
See it. Trust me.
