30 Days Has Noirvember: Andrew Nette

Film noir has been so picked over, I am not sure any of the films that are part of it can be described anymore as unknown or underappreciated. But here are my five picks for the least known/appreciated entries in the body of film known as film noir.

Shield for Murder - Howard W. Koch, Edmond O’Brien - O'Brien stars in my favorite bad cop film noir.

Plunder Road - Hubert Cornfield - A great heist goes wrong film, clocking in at 72 minutes.

Crashout - Lewis R. Foster - A prison break film noir with a difference

House by the River - Fritz Lang - A terrifically twisted film about a crime writer who goe very bad

The Crooked Way - Robert Florey - I love amnesia in film noir
