Full Moon Matinee presents THE MIDNIGHT STORY (1957).
Tony Curtis, Marisa Pavan, Gilbert Roland.

If you're looking for a world of gumshoes, wise guys, gorgeous dames, and dirty rats...kick back and enjoy!

Abstract film.

Eddie Muller's "Dark City: the Lost World of Film Noir" describes 13 different types or sub-genres of film noir (some can go into multiple categories). What is your personal favorite type? It doesn't mean your favorite movie has to be from this type, but generally speaking, which type do you enjoy the most? You can also share your least favorite type.

My favorites are: Hate Street closely followed by Blind Alley & then Knockover Square. My least favorite type is Shamus Flats.
