DEEP NOIR
Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was
with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas and various designing women; Jane Greer and Rhonda Fleming.
Robert Mitchum is so watchable. Read about him at the link. He has a wonderful story.
This film is just complicated enough to challenge but it never leaves you behind. There is some great action. I think that there are hundreds of scenes.
It is one of those stories that starts in the middle, reverses into the past and then comes back to the middle again to go into the future.
There is no telling the story and reciting the lines. It would all be one big spoiler.
Just watch it and be fascinated for an hour and a half; the ideal film length, now forgotten.
This is a 5 out of Netflix5 just for the lines alone. And you will be able to hear them all on this excellent restoration.
