I always enjoy your analysis, even when it is movies that I would never watch directly. Reading critiques is like getting the 'good parts version': all the things that stood out to an intelligent and thoughtful viewer.
Thank you. That's a really lovely comparison, and I'm glad.
Plus, as you yourself have pointed out, these noir films contain many elements of social relations, class and gender and racial constructs' effects on people, and offer views into what was seen as A Thing and A Story in bygone decades. It's the world in a bottle, or anyway selected views thereof.

It's a lot of what I'm interested in!
