Enjoyed the dream sequence and Lorre's creepy performance. Setting aside its relevance to noir genre history, the story lacks body. It's slick and quick, ie. rather linear, and the touches of Nathanael West are buried in the expressionist style, the shallow delivery of the themes, and romantic upbeat tones. I wouldn't really call it noir, but in the surface it does look like it. The film though has the allure of period and vintage, which gives the whole a certain charm.

Not a great movie by normal standards, but deserves a ratings bump for the place it has in noir history. The elements that earn it the distinction of being considered the first noir are definitely there and a pleasure to watch. Peter Lorre is the other highlight of the flick, to be sure. All in all, an enjoyable and worthy watch.
