Review of Murder by Contract (1958) by Gregory W — 14 Jun 2011

Excellent noir thriller this is a B pix that really works. this is one martin scorsese's faves. the music score is very sparse only a single electric guitar but like welle's the third man (which it reminded me of) it works a the movie goes on and the characters get closer & closer the music add to heighten tension.

final bonus: alot of the exterior shots r shot in my hometown of sta monica and it was interesting to see what it looked like back then.
