Excellent commentary, even if I disagree with most of it. tried reading McPartland & found him a bit.... well, there was nothing there like you see in similar books of the time by W.L. Heath, JDM, W.R.Burnett-I could go on, but you get the point; his prose & his characters never lit a spark nor sparked a light with me.
I will agree though that NO DOWN PAYMENT is a dandy suburban film noir that should be better known.
I think it would be terrible if we agreed all the time. I wrote that a good while back, so I don't know if NO DOWN PAYMENT has become available on DVD.
