  I do believe it’s 1955, Mr. Kenny : )
  And, also: HOW OBSCENE OF YOU TO POST THIS!

  Really look­ing for­ward to catch­ing this again. I had no idea that end­ing was com­ing when I first saw it, and don’t really think I had it in me to pro­cess it. Next to Night of the Hunter, prob­ably the most auda­cious clas­sic noir, at least of the ones I’ve seen.

  Even more bru­tal than I remem­ber it being.
  Love this exchange between Hammer, Horace the land­lord, and Horace’s wife.
  WIFE: Horace, tell him the police already looked through the apartment.
  HAMMER (to Horace): Tell her to shut up!
  HORACE (to wife): Shut up.

  I was sit­ting in the cham­bers of the judge for whom I’m work­ing this sum­mer, and I star­ted to hear this noise that soun­ded just like the weird noise that box makes. The clerks are sur­pris­ingly artist­ic­ally informed for a bunch of Harvard Law grads, but I did­n’t want to take the risk of say­ing, “hey, does­n’t that sound just like the seeth­ing sound the box makes in KISS ME DEADLY” and get­ting a bunch of con­fused stares.
