Top of my list are "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)," "The Dirty Dozen (1967)" and "The Flight of the Phoenix (1965)" - none of those appear to be noir, though. "The Big Knife (1955)" also sounds interesting.ackatsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629378991868728549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874901938972880720.post-77947327826667643222008-06-30T20:58:00.000-07:002008-06-30T20:58:00.000-07:00Sorry, I must say I freaking love this movie.

No wonder why Tarantino took a lot from it's feeling...<BR/><BR/>I always found Aldrich's movies to be quite influential even if they weren't masterpieces, have you seen "Vera Cruz"? To me that's Leone's blueprint for the Spaghetti Westerns...J Luis Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145857465646419255noreply@blogger.com
