Amazing Film


I was expecting a minor noir film, and it did set up a fairly straightforward story... Down and out war vet finds and returns the wallet of a wealthy guy who is obviously a dangerous gangster - I mean, he employs Peter Lorre. Vet gets work as a chauffeur for the wealthy creep who has a beautiful and distressed wife. You see where this is going? Well, you are right, but the whole business takes a totally unexpected turn into territory that had me thinking of David Lynch.

It may not be perfect, but it would be solid even without the twist and, with it, the movie becomes great.
