Just watched High Wall with Robert Taylor & Audrey Totter. What a delicious film. First and foremost the blacks in the picture are so dark, like India ink. The musical score is subdued, almost reminds me of Carter Burwell. The film has all the goodies; murder, adultery, amnesia, mental illness, pathos, blackmail, police procedurals, etc. The movie was directed by Curtis Bernhardt, another German who also directed Conflict with Bogart and Possessed with Joan Crawford.
I am surprised and dismayed that it is not available on DVD.
