Nice little film noir
The tight dynamic of this short movie causes one to know instinctively not to bat an eye or you'll miss something. Not only miss something but regret missing it. Watch for the first appearance of the little bratty Tommy and if you need to slip away for a quick second that's your time to do it. Even the bright light scenes have that just right hint of darkness needed to sustain the noir effect. This type of movie with it's array of pungent character actors makes you long for some vague resemblance to the genre today. The sweet tension between the leading man and his 2 leading ladies constantly begs for resolution, this while making you wonder will this be one of those where the bad guys get it or will all the good guys be rubbed out.
