Description

Pushover is a 1954 American film noir crime film directed by Richard Quine starring Fred MacMurray, Phil Carey and Kim Novak (in her first credited role!). The motion picture was adapted from two novels, The Night Watch by Thomas Walsh and Rafferty by William S. Ballinger.

I hadn't seen this until recently. Okay... today. It's on the YouTube. I was hoping it was something akin to Double Indemnity. Not so much. It's okay. It's definitely film noir. The entire first scene is a bank being robbed in silence which is kind of an interesting storytelling choice. MacMurray and Carey are solid hard boiled tough guys. Novak is (as advertised on the poster ) a hot blooded blonde. I don't think the dialogue and story aren't tight as Double Indemnity. But it's hard to top Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler when it comes to Noir.

This is the latest in my exploration of Clip Studio Paint Pro.
