I am not generally a noir fan, but "The Tattooed Stranger" sounds like something I might really like. On the other hand, Arthur pointed out that there are dozens of youtube videos of the 3rd Avenue El at various time periods, if what I mostly want is atmospheric NYC. But with added proto-CSI. My mind wanders. I wondered briefly if one could wish for a teenaged Jerry Orbach somewhere in the film but he was actually in high school in Illinois at the time.
