A pretty average noir story with some cool elements, but Siodmak really goes all in. Not to the extent that it elevates the only mildly interesting material, but a joy to watch in its own right.
Musically ambitious, but other than We the People Who Are Darker than Blue it didn't strike a chord with me particularly so to speak. The socially conscious songs generally were far better than the other stuff. I know Superfly became a favorite of mine the more I listened to it, so I should probably come around to this again at some point.
Choice cuts: Other Side of Town, We the People Who Are Darker than Blue, Move On Up
