I'd  consider "The Man With The Golden Arm" to be
borderline noir,
especially  considering that Preminger did direct quite
a few noir
films. I've never  seen "Hatful of Rain" - I'd heard
that was Tony Francisiosa (spelling?))'s  fave of all
the roles he ever did. Funny, considering all the dope
films  I've seen (including some REALLY obscure ones,
like a Mexican silent drug  exploitation film from 1926
called "The Iron Fist"), I've somehow missed  that one.



I's also nominate "Sweet Smell of Success" for it's seamy underbelly  of the 
entertianment column biz vibe, great performances and wonderful balack  and 
white scenes of late 1950's Manhattan. oh yeah, and the cars...
