Review of Kansas City Confidential (1952) by Private U — 16 Jun 2007
Fantastic film noir, with elements that influenced Tarantino, including a heist where the crew remains anonymous to each other, as well as the use of extreme close up shots, not to mention a trio of slimey cons that includes Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef and Neville Brand.
Phil Karlson's direction was very innovative for 1952 and the screenplay is full of surprises.
