Raw Deal (1948)

Directed by Anthony Mann. Cinematography by John Alton. Not to be confused with the 1986 early Arnold movie. We have the Movies! channel now, which presents movies uncut and properly formatted, and while I was looking at the schedule I noticed that this was the late, late movie tonight. This is something I first watched on Youtube or Internet Archive back when I was getting into the noir genre. The Mann/Alton collaborations are all notable. John Alton is one of the people most responsible for creating the look of noir. A young Raymond Burr is in this too. Recommended.

Eddie Muller TCM Noir Alley intro. Mr. Muller's Top 25 Best Film Noir list was instrumental for me learning the genre. Took me a while but I've now seen all 25.
