I remember quite clearly sitting in the Seminary South theater in Fort Worth and watching this movie. When the music came up and those old-style credits played, I knew I'd found a movie that I'd love. And so I do.

I love that music--so atmospheric. I used to have that poster on my wall in the 1970s.
Love the movie and the music. Jack had it then.
What a great noir film!
Great film, one of my favorites. I re-watch it every so often so I don't start thinking I remember it as being better than it is; it's that good.
Uan Rasey is perfect on the trumpet solos. (Yeah, only I would care about that.)
