This could be well have been THE definitive film noir of all time, had not the Columbia Studios cut so much of Orson Welles's original
 screenplay. The film is a great example of how to make a film that is not only great, but also great in its own right.
 film in half. The film is so great, it's hard to believe that it was made in the first place. It's a perfect example, of how the great directors of the 20th century could have made a great film. I'm sure that the director of this film would have loved to have had the opportunity to direct it, but he didn't. He was too busy making a film about a man who is a genius, and he was so busy that he couldn't even get the script written.<br /><br />The film has a very good story, with great performances by the actors, great cinematography and great acting by all the cast. This is one of those films that you can't get enough of, especially if you're a fan of great films. If you like good films and you love great actors and cinematographers, this is the perfect film for you. You'll love it. And if it doesn't have a good ending, you'll hate it too. But if the film does have one, I think it will be the best film ever made. <p.s. Don't forget to check out the other great movies of that era, like "The Last Samurai" and "A Clockwork Orange".<br/><
