One of my favourite films actually...and a considerable improvement on the original which has a great idea but just doesn't know where to go with it afterwards, while the Hollywood re-make (as opposed to the Australian re-make COLOUR ME DEAD) has a script by Charles Edward Pogue that clearly knows its Cornell Woolrich/David Goodis 40s noir literature (the protagonist is re-named Cornell) and is much more successful in using the concept for its own ends. And in its opening and closing sections, it has the best recreation of 1940s Hollywood black and white look in a modern colour film I have ever seen...
