No Man of Her Own 1950
Is it great? No. Is it entertaining? Yes. (Plus having Barbara Stanwyck in it doesn’t hurt.)

Cruel Gun Story 1964
Gritty and dark but occasionally cartoonish, and it had a few things you don’t see in American films noir, which is only one of the reasons foreign films are great to check out. I loved the atmosphere the cinematography created, the cinematography itself, the music, the sets, Joe’s car. All great. The way the film ended was somewhat expected, but done in an unexpected way. I liked Joe Shishido, and I’d like to see more films directed by Furukawa.
