Appointment with Crime

Good film this, but I'm posting re. the above-mentioned TEMPTATION HARBOUR. A great many film enthusiasts would like to see this film, myself included. It's been restored by the BFI, and to my knowledge they're just sitting on it. I was surprised to do a Mubi search and learn that it's not among their listing. Simone Simon and Robert Newton also star in this forgotten noir gem. Adapted from a Georges Simenon novel.

The book that for me opened the door to European noir, the French films in particular: The Movie Book of Film Noir, edited by Ian Cameron. Specifically, Ginette Vincendeau's essay entitled "NOIR IS ALSO A FRENCH WORD: The French Antecedents of Film Noir", contained therein. The Detroit Public Library had a copy of the book that I would take out repeatedly back in the late Nineties, until I finally acquired one of my own. It also contains a very thorough essay on the films noirs of Robert Siodmak.
