Glad to see your post. I'm a noir fan myself and yes, this is a great movie. There were some trashy noirs, not this one. I just recently caught the "Asphalt Jungle". Excellent film, perhaps not up to the above.

The Petrified Forest, was that noir? Of course, the Maltese was. We had a discussion of noir somewhere down in this forum. Some fine movies recommended, many of which I've been unable to find. What is a good source for these oldies?

Regarding your rant, I feel the stories or screenplays are largely trash today. Dialog, forget it. General Devolution, we salute thee!

Right now, I'm reading Raymond Chandler's early work. Finally hit paydirt with "Red Wind". Of course, I've read a few of his famous novels. Just trying to get into more of his oevre. Then there is Traven to reread. A new writer I just discovered in Harper's appears promising. Adam Johnson, he's got a book of short stories coming out at the end of this month. Not noir exactly, but I liked his story "Teen Sniper" a lot.
