[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 347314, member: 5079"] I almost went through Noir-vember without watching a single noir (well, except for CHINATOWN). So tonight I rectified that by watching one I've never seen before; indeed, never even heard of it: TAKE ONE FALSE STEP (1949) with William Powell and Shelley Winters. This is one of the noirs that were inherently too light-hearted. I'm not entirely sure I didn't just watch an unfunny comedy. Powell, one of my favorites, was entirely wrong for a noir thriller. His stock-in-trade was an elegant nonchalance; he lacked any sense of urgency as a man under suspicion for murder. This is the first movie I've ever seen with young Shelley. As the murder victim, she was so shrilly neurotic I wanted to murder her myself. Forgettable. [ATTACH type="full" width="248px"]42009[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
