His Personal Murder Concierge
If you meet up with Lawrence Tierney in a dark alley - or in a kitchen, for that matter - chances are the encounter won’t end well. Tierney is truly the bad boy of film noir, and no film shows it better than “Born to Kill.” Claire Trevor is great, as always, but I do question her taste in men. I imagine a few eyebrows raising at what the filmmaker gets away with here, including the brazen attitude of our leading man. And oh hey, Elisha Cook Jr. Is here, too, bringing all the gay subtext.
