And here I thought I knew almost everything about films noir. How did I miss this one?
Perhaps it was the thought of Wendell Corey in a noir that made me avoid this film for so long. I’d always liked him; his work in HOLIDAY AFFAIR is exceptional. But in film noir? I was wrong. Corey is fantastic in FILE as an alcoholic assistant DA whose marriage is crumbling and who meets the wrong woman.
Robert Siodmak’s direction is fine and the film takes some really unexpected twists and turns before a very noirish ending.
