CJ gives it 10\10 and I can't see why. To me it makes a generous 6/10 only because of Powell (and Conrad, especially the russian roulette scene), the rest is cheap and seen before.
For snappy patter the great noirs are these, in descending order: Double Indemnity; Out of the Past; Murder, My Sweat; Cry Danger.
You must watch this with the Italian dub, or with bad sub-titles.
I'll follow your advice.
- The Sweet Smell of Success?
- The Big Sleep (particularly the lesser IMO theatrical release)?

Again your lack of English understanding is telling. Here "must" is not prescriptive, but shows probability.
Probability of what?
Probability that you're an ass.
At least it is not a certainty, as it is for you.
