"A KISS BEFORE DYING" 1956, falls in the Noir category, but not a good one in my opinion
and more akin to a B-Movie version of Hitchcock
(it does have the pregnant girlfriend who falls victim to murder plot, as "A Place in the Sun" shares.

"CRIME AGAINST JOE" falls to conventional crime drama story wise, but due to the low budget has the
cinematography style of Noir.

Both films have the protagonists as WW2 veteran's, changed from their time in the war.
