Detour. Yeah, don't go picking up the Wicked Witch of the West. I don't buy the alternate theory, though. If they wanted to tell that story, they could have. As it is, this one is a little half-baked. Why even bring up the elder Haskell dying if you're not going to somehow use that, or play out...

Kiss of Death. First rate. Compelling story and good performances. Loved seeing Brian Donlevy play the bookish Asst. DA after his wild turn as The Great McGinty. Yeah I was impressed with Victor Mature here, as well. And we all know the real Noir ending.

So I wrote a 2-hour romantic thriller and the director decided he was making an 88-minute action flick, but it's still a good story. http://thehollywooddigest.com/dead-reckoning-film-review/

Tomorrow Is Another Day. Worth watching again, even with that sappy ending. Any film that can build a Hitchcock-level suspense sequence around a car-carrier is okay in my book. Now where's that Steve Cochran mysterious fatal cruise Noir?

And they never explained why Joe had to leave New York, which I suppose was just a device, but it was central to what Bonita had on him (other than unmotivated cliché fixation, as you point out).

Suspense. Noir on Ice. The only real suspense was waiting for the premise or plot to show up (it took at least 45 minutes). I felt Sullivan's performance was really ham-fisted and anything but subtle. In fact, the only good performances were from the side players, whom, yes would have been...

Kiss Me Deadly. Not much to say here since I have the Criterion BD. Why does this only get two stars on the TV menu channel? Granted, it's not much of a narrative; only Hammer rummaging around kissing women (or being kissed, actually), slapping men, and with the mysterious box as a McGuffin...

Hey, a decent review. https://filmthreat.com/reviews/dead-reckoning/

I'm sold.

Fear. So was that a 8mm print? I was with the story until the end, of course, but that was ridiculous.

What is.. our all-time favorite game show host.

Nightfall. Widescreen, crisp picture, Stirling Silliphant script; what's not to like? I'm starting to sync with Muller's observations when I see the "Chekhov's Snowplow." But was expecting a little Fargo action there (blood spraying). Not so in sync when I was about to make a comment about Aldo...
