Kiss
Me Deadly is a film noir. After having taking the film noir class, it was fun
to casually see a noir on the beach. It is a mystery that keeps you guessing.
It is the original asker of the classic question: what's in the box? I don't
know if we get a proper answer, but we get most of an answer so that you can
fill in the gaps yourself. We saw the original American ending, but there was
an alternative ending that leaves out the final minute or so. It is a much more
pessimistic ending, apocalyptic if you will. It is a movie that is reflective
of the time in which it was made. In that sense, you can read it as a primary
source on Cold War paranoia. I loved the 1950s answering machine. It is
enormous! And also he has this oddly close relationship with his mechanic.
