Review of Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) by Paul C — 24 Aug 2009
Low budget B movie thought of as the 'first' film noir, it was initially dismissed for the very things the genre would be celebrated for - following the lead of German expressionism, it's cynical portrayal of the system and gritty yet hyper-real atmosphere.
In just 64mins it draws the blueprint for a whole wave of movies.
