There you can go full screen and maximize your enjoyment.<br /><br />99 River Stree is a great noir featuring two totally underrated actors - Payne and Keyes - doing their finest work. Cast, direction, story and cinematography are all perfectly aligned for an hour and a half of noir heaven. Brad Dexter and the marvelously evil Jack Lambert are villains you can believe in (Brad was also great in Macao with Mitchum and Russell; and Lambert is one of the best reasons to watch Kiss Me Deadly again). Peggie Castle also deserves a mention as Payne's sexy-hateful wife.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of happy endings in noir, but after what they go through in 99 River Street, you'll be willing to cut Payne and Keyes a little slack.<br /><br />Highly recommended.Paul McGorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13674632.post-68328797678737537972009-08-15T02:22:38.525-05:002009-08-15T02:22:38.525-05:00Managed to track this down and loved it!Managed to track this down and loved it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
