    I was frightened by Ms. Vera, so fierce (´・ω・`) Listening to her blaming and glaring abuse is more scary than listening to the sad nagging of the male...

    Most hated noir heroine. Femme scorpion beauty is vicious and always attractive, but the heroine of this film is fierce and angrily talking all day long, and she is annoying to death. That is, the unfortunate hero who is submissive can stand her. She should have had Alec Stiles slap her hard and Tom Udo kicked her...

    Road noir, it is said that this low-cost B-level film was shot in only 6 days, but it can still be enjoyed by us today, which shows its strong vitality. The story told in the film is very simple. The unlucky guy hitchhiked, but found the driver dead on the way. Later, he took a woman along the way, who was actually the owner's ex-girlfriend, and the things that followed were even more unfortunate. The film is only 70 minutes long, but it has all the elements of film...

    Coincidence makes the plot interesting, but it is also unconvincing. The male protagonist should have solved each other on the...

    1. The first person is very good, making everything "subjective"; 2. The male protagonist's "non-movie face" is even better with this character. The decadent version of Bogart is matched with the plain version of Betty, making those humble but unpretentious. The sincere lines radiate...

    7.7/10 The 65-minute black B-level film, shot in 6 days, is full of words and monologues that have been flooded in noir films since unknown times. The story is simple, and the male protagonist is "criminal", suppressed from the beginning to the end. But it would have been better to have the sirens sound at the end without the presence of a police...

    A low-budget noir film, the overall concept is good, and the deaths of the two men witnessed by the male protagonist are reasonable (the first suffered a heart attack, and the second was hanged by a telephone line during an argument). Of course, there are still too many shoddy ones. The lines are lacking in sophistication (basically the male protagonist is chatting alone), and many details can be...

    In the early road movies, the male protagonist of the pianist was a hitchhiker and went from the east coast to Hollywood to find his girlfriend who dreamed of acting. The actor coerced him to continue pretending to inherit the inheritance... The whole film is narrated by the male protagonist throughout, and his continuous unfortunate encounters seem to be played by fate. The interesting thing is that this state of helplessness is also tied to his embarrassed class, and the narrative is...

    After six days of filming, the film is an art series of lights. "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with...
