I too am a film noir fan. I recommend Pick Up on South Street (Richard Widmark at his sleazy nasty best), Where the Sidewalk Ends, Kiss of Death (Widmark goes wild!), The Big Heat (Glenn Ford is on a "hate binge" and Lee Marvin knocks over a Moai in a fight in a swank 50s penthouse), Gun Crazy, I Wake Up Screaming, Double Indemnity (of course!), He Walked by Night, This Gun for Hire (!!!!!), White Heat , Night and the City, the Naked City. The Blue Gardenia(contains polynesian cocktails scene in Chinese restaurant, they drink a cocktail called a pearl diver), I could go on and on. Nothing warms my heart more than angry double-crossed men in fedoras and trenchcoats pistol-whipping someone in a dark alley while a neon sign flickers nearby.


Make mine a mai tai!
