Kick-Ass - Pickup on South Street
Great anti-commie film noir with several points of superb, building tension. Richard Widmark hits the mark as the anti-hero; a low life, but not a psychopath like his Tommy Udo.Pickup on South Street - Where the Sidewalk Ends
Where the Sidewalk Ends - Fallen Angel
Dana Andrews’ character is too much a sucker, and gets too “Woe is me,” to be a great film-noir hero (though Andrews is always fun to watch). But Alice Faye’s acting is superb, and Linda Darnell’s character is so rotten-but-fascinating, that this film supports multiple viewings.Fallen Angel - Kiss of Death
Victor Mature is great, as are the others. But this gets 4/5 because of Richard Widmark’s unforgettable performance as Tommy Udo.Kiss of Death - The Dark Mirror
