Cool! I have never heard of it and I will keep an eye out for it. 1959 is about the last year a British or American film could have been noir rather than neo-noir, although of course plenty of crime/thriller/drama films were made in both decades that weren't noir at all.
Yes, I don't know if it is or not, but certainly the only thing I've watched that was heading that way - and maybe of peripheral interest anyway if you do pursue the idea. I was going to say that I wrote about it here, but not very much, because it was a competent little thriller, whereas the other two films I watched and wrote about at the same time were more complicated - maybe more uneven or questionable, but also more thought-provoking, for me, at least. (Do you know anything about The Third Secret (1964)? It seems much more your sort of thing than mine, and I am full of queries! I assume you haven't seen it, because you probably would have looked at the entry otherwise.)
What were they?
Oh, I didn't want to name them, as it's easy to bash them and I was very tired, particularly when I watched the second, so perhaps I was just being unfair. The first was Bride Wars, which did have some different and quite sweet bits, but was still kind of annoying (or I was tired), and The Back Up Plan, which annoyed me a lot by seeming to be a glued together version of several other romcoms I do like. But, as I said, I was overtired and Jennifer Lopez never seems to work for me. (But I wanted to watch silly things! I've had to be so careful about everything, it was fun to just watch some films to grumble about them. But I do wish they had been better as romcoms. OTOH, my taste is questionable, but I'm picky with romcoms.)
