...maybe the most subversive of all films noir, encompassing everything from atomic femme fatales to masculinity amok and the Bomb.

In the dingy, black-and-white halls of the film noir pantheon, they've a special place set aside for Kiss Me Deadly.

This independently produced low-budget film was a shining example for the New Wave directors -- Truffaut, Godard, et al -- who found it proof positive that commercial films could accommodate the quirkiest and most personal of visions.
