Film Noir: Early Kubrick

[Shel_B]

I saw this a few nights ago. IMO, a great flick. Maybe you'll enjoy it as well. If you've already seen it, your comments would be appreciated.

Could you add a little meat to your review?

However, because it's you, Shel, it's on our list.

Film Noir, like jazz, can be so, so good.
Alas, the genre' name has been misapplied to some bad, black and white movies. Hey, it happens.

That's a good one with an interesting plot if you are into the minutia of the planning of a heist. Kubric was the master of detail. He must have been in his 20s when he directed that. The movie was partially shot in the Bay Area at the Bay Meadows racetrack.
