Movies Watched -- Force of Evil (1948)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

79 minute running time … the language in this was special, the writing… really high flown and delivered at a rapid clip … an unusual noir, sure it’s about corruption and greed and morality, but it’s filled with strangely extravagant dialogue … nice to see Miss Utah (Marie Windsor) again, though a minor role for her. I have to recommend this for the amazing writing alone, and it’s sad to think that Polonsky never directed another movie (blacklisted) for decades afterwards. Also a John Farr recommendation. Green go.

If I ever thought of loving you, It was to love something rotten and corrupt in myself.
