Today's noir movie. A "Splash of Color at the End of Noir Film Era".
Except it's not true noir as, first, it is in color which makes it, I think, a neo-noir film and one of the earliest at that and, second, while everything goes bad for the gang as noir canon prescribes it's not true to the noir canon in other respects, in particular, in that there is too much going on with respect to some other characters in the movie and for some it ends with a happy ending, so the focus was not on the ill-fated caper, and also there is no femme fatale either.
But still a good viewing.
