| This film is even better than you think. Based on an actual case, the argument goes that the film is intentionally cast with the unglamorous to distance the story from any romanticism and or romantic nihilism that so often is at the heart of noir. The effect is far more chilling with Stanwyck and MacMurray than it could have been with the beauty of a Bergman or the charisma of Bogart. | ||||||||||||||||||
