OK, so if you go in already knowing the final twist, that title shot is actually telling you directly. Nice.
Yes! I don't actually keep anything like a ranking of film noir titles in my head, but if I did, Decoy would rate highly because it sounds like one of those pulpily vague efforts that look good on a poster but relate to the movie atmospherically if at all and it's completely factual.
Wow, that is a horrible washroom. Is the mirror just a broken shard or is it cut to that shape?
Doylistically that asymmetrical frame could be deliberate, but in-text I'm pretty sure someone just propped that fragment back up with a couple of nails when the original mirror got smashed.
Dillinger nothing, Margot has, like, Long John Silver levels of obsession with that buried treasure.
It probably got its name in translation because of the astonishing success of Monogram's Dillinger (1945), which had made literal millions for the studio on very slightly more than the usual budget of chump change, but I love this observation.
Quentin Tarantino definitely saw this movie before he began his filmmaking career. And I’m not referring to the violence, I’m talking about the explicit socio-economics lectures.
