In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics

try to meet back up with his girlfriend who went

way hitch-hicking! Shoulda stayed in New York! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

This is one of the all-time great examples of
film noir. It can practically be used to define
the genre: shadowy black and white cinematography;
a star-crossed protagonist ("...fate sticks out
a leg to trip you."); a femme fatale (the
unforgettable Ann Savage as Vera); cynical
voice-over narration; ambiguous morality.
All these elements are brought together
magnificently by director Edgar G. Ulmer,
who incredibly made this movie in several
days on a shoestring budget. His direction
is so masterful that the low budget sets only
add to the film. This is a great masterpiece
and one of the marvels in film history. - Joel I
