I have only seen this once, and it was 15 years ago. But it struck me at the time and has stayed with me ever since as perhaps the most atmospheric noir film I've ever seen. I don't mean to frustrate with this choice, as I know most people haven't seen it. I hope, though, that people will seek it out and that eventually, as the years pass, it will no longer be one of these undiscovered Renoir gems.
