Any semblance of reality is outdone by the film’s delightfully weird, nearly omnipresent voice-over and its expressionistic recreations of the internal monologues of everyday schlubs in the street. Dassin, who would go on to make the classic proto–heist film Rififi, seems as much interested in Hitchcockian flair as he is in naturalism, anyway
