this was an exceptional noir, with some great re-directs. it shows that Sirk had all the talent in place to make credible features.. this should be in more lists.
a treat to see Lucille Ball in a dramatic role, she is a comedic genius but she can handle herself in a drama just as well
as for the comment on the 'few noir elements' it has plenty. cynical outlook, detective/ investigator (Lucille being brought on was a nice touch, as so few women play the investigative role in this era), sexual motivations, as well as the mise en scene such as lighting and atmosphere. at times there was a gothic essence-- especially with the casting of Boris and the locations he inhabits in the film.. foggy bridge, cobweb-covered masion with dusty mirrors.. etc.
just because the films doesn't have the classic 'dangerous woman' does not exclude it from being a Noir. i find it a stronger candidate because it doesn't. 3 years 11 months ago -

I adore this murder mystery. The performances are superb, the plot is predictable but scary and if you watch the movie very carefully you can get a hint of coded homoeroticism. 8 years 8 months ago
