I have heard of this film but have never seen it. I would rather watch films like this than most of today's big budget "blockbusters" which spend huge sums on effects and big time actors but apparently nothing on an interesting script.

I'd give it a 3/5 rating. Entertaining but not an essential flick in the "noir" genre.

I agree with you about contemporary films. I rarely have any interest in seeing newer releases of any genre. Most of what I watch these days is from the 1930's through 1970's.

The film I felt like rewatching since hear that Udo Kier passed on

I finally made it through Amelie, the 2001 french film about the girl that loves skipping rocks and being quirky. I liked it actually

Psy-Fi

Crime film about a squad of undercover cops who use unorthodox tactics in their pursuits of criminals on charges which carry a sentence of seven years or more. I'm pretty sure I saw this back in the 70's, in a theater, but I guess it didn't leave much of an impression on me at that time. The car chase seemed vaguely familiar but that was about all I remembered of the film. Entertaining from start to finish.

Psy-Fi

Early B&W crime film about a young gangster at the top of his game in organized crime, deciding to leave his position in the underworld and live the life of a wealthy retiree. Circumstances end up pulling him back into his former business. Lew Ayres in the starring role and featuring James Cagney in his second film appearance.

I last watched CLASS OF 1999 (1989) on VHS

Psy-Fi

A crime thriller about a private detective who gets caught up in a web of drama and intrigue shortly after he's hired by his former partner to discreetly return a passed-out young woman from a motel room to her home. Pretty good performance from "Ol' Blue Eyes" in the starring role.

I remember watching some movie with Sinatra where he was the opposite of memorable. Just a total non presence, none of the charm you normally associate with him. I wish I could say which movie it was but it was so boring I genuinely don't remember a single thing about it except how boring Sinatra's onscreen presence was.

Not saying he didn't have good roles but that one, whatever the hell it was, wasn't one!
