Negative Positive
Title: Basic Noir
Review: If you like films noirs, you'll probably like this. It has all of the standard features--guys who wear big hats and their pants high, cops who call women "dolls" and "broads" and lots of cigarette smoking. I like all that and love New York so I find this entertaining. The plot is pretty good, the cast is excellent and then there's the enduring theme song.I found it better than many others of this genre but not as good as others. I think it is an enjoyable period piece but it's not going to keep you awake at night thinking about it.
