Entrapment, futility, and malevolent fate in the dog day night of urban dreams. Savage sharks in suits, borderline psychotics selling real-estate, and weary losers.

  1. Ah yes, this film as a most compelling drama. Interesting to see the color setting there, as alien to noir as a black and white musical, though not really inappropriate just because it’s rare. But it’s really a case that B & W went out of vogue a while back, and there’s only an occasional use of it now. I do love that final sentence there though! (“Savage sharks in suits, borderline psychotics selling real-estate, and weary losers.”) How perfectly sized up there.
