Visually, it's probably as good as film-noirs get, and the mystery is so intriguing and bizarre that you can't help but be drawn in despite (or perhaps because of) its strangeness. The characters and acting and situations are all noir down to a tee, but it's the 'great whatsit' that really makes this film special. The ending is quite terrific. Overall, it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
