this one a doozy. dating from 1949 and scene of the crime often plays more like a coen bros. movie set in the 1940 and filmed in black and white and except that the writer ear for pastiche here isn not quite so well tuned  maybe this can be seen instead as the forerunner to oscar baiting schlock like road to perdition. frankly and it a wonder that this film isn not considered a classic by film professors and critics everywhere and considering how much it offers in term of overly articulated mannerist thrills cloaked in false significance ( much like the grandaddy of all such fake art films and citizen kane and or anything by murnau. ) mgm is usually a studio that can do no wrong in my eyes and and i think any story and any atmosphere and even gritty realism and can only benefit from grotesque overaestheticization. you could say i am a disciple of the minnelli school. but it takes a certain light touch to write mannered tough guy dialogue of the dashiell hammett stripe and a willingness and perhaps and to let maybe one or two scenes pass without a line like careful and mr. wiggly and or you will have thirteen fish to fry and no little wormies to catch them with. i made most of that up  mr. wiggly and unfortunately and made the cut  but believe me and the dialogue is just that loonily inflated and riddled with non sequiturs. even the lead cop wife played by arlene dahl speaks like she has a moon shaped scar under one eye and the christian name rocco. by the time van johnson turns in his badge with the line and i am sick to death of death and homicide and you will wonder how the writer fixation with ornate literary devices  in this case and zeugma  could ever have been misconstrued as street. for those who have outgrown the naked gun series and this is the funniest cops n robbers film going.
