free via YouTube, but it's "age-restricted" for some reason so you'll have to click through to YouTube to watch it:
Roger Ebert has it on his list of Great Movies. Filmsite calls it "a stylish but stark film noir crime drama, and the definitive heist-caper movie". The Criterion Collection calls it "one of Hollywood’s tautest, twistiest noirs". Turner Classic Movies has an overview. Rotten Tomatoes has a 96% critics concensus score.
I'm drinking my usual cuppa coffee (no whitener, no sugar):
Please share your own drink and join us at the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering.

...a bit too stark for me.
ReplyDeleteNoir coffee. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteNo whitener! I hate those powdered fake creamers. Real cream or I drink it black, too. That's a beautiful springtime mug.
ReplyDeleteI know you schedule ahead of time, but the very title of today's film is a bit chilling. One of your buffoon congressmen said no amount of gun restrictive laws could have prevented what happened (yesterday) in Nashville. I bet he has no children!
Thanks fr sharing this film and your beautiful mug filled with coffee with us for T this Tuesday, dear.
By "whitener" I mean any and all whitening ingredients including real milk, half and half or cream.
DeleteI'll bet he has children. They're fanatics around here.
I'm going to watch this. I really like Rohdney and to see his first film would be interesting. Love the coffe cup too. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteYou have the prettiest cups and mugs-Happy T
ReplyDeleteAs Bleubeard says, posts are created a head of time ... life imitating art. Another school shooting & seeing the Governor's Christmas card photo, makes a chilly statement of what's important ... I'll say no more. Nice mug.
ReplyDeleteI think I will enjoy this! Enjoy your coffee! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard the term whitener before. I assumed it meant milk and then I read Elizabeth's comment. And that is another cool mug. You had a great collection. Happy T day Nita.
ReplyDeleteVideo is not available, sad...
ReplyDeleteI sadly cannot have coffee anymore, my stomach hurts from it. Gah! Have a happy T-Day!
CJ is too funny .. Noir Coffee.... lol I need both sugar and 'whitener ' in my coffee! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThis is probably not for me. However, it always amazes me that you find these rare movies. Thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking cuppa. I watched part of it with the sound down low as hubby has the boring news on, and it made it even seem darker - lol. The best part was when that guy shot the horse and then the policeman shot him and a horseshoe magically appeared by/in the tire. So strange to see all those people smoking...funny how times change. Happy T-day and hugz
ReplyDeleteYes, black coffee goes with a 'noir' film.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll pass on the coffee!
ReplyDeleteI am not a Stanley Kubrick fan. Your cup is pretty. Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteYour cup of coffee looks great and it is a lovely mug too. Anyway, I don't like black coffee without sugar. I usually add more sugar if I drink coffee without creamer :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for my late T-comment as I had issue with blogger commenting.
Have a great day!
