"Complaining about the far-fetched circumstances in films noir is like objecting to the lack of realism in a Picasso painting. What I mean is that lovers of these criminally rich cinematic delights oughtn’t to bother picking out the implausibilities, since they are practically a hallmark of noir's style."

I've written this before when introducing Split Second (1953), a film noir that presents some rather unlikely occurring, but fascinating situations. See for yourself Thursday, June 8 at 9:30 am PDT.
