NY's Crime of the Century

This is a classic review of how the newspaper of the 1920's played an active part in this particular murder. The author MacKeller, Landis not only incorporate the plot of the wife that murders the husband for money but how the press played a big part in the story, leaving the reader in suspence as to what really happened and who was all involved.  A typical film Noir special.

In Love and Hating It

Well, well, well they finally commited the crime.  Although Huff acted as though he wasn't nervous or afraid to go through with the initial act he was.  Phyllis was very "femme fatale" in this particular reading she was able to get him to committ the murder.  After the crime was done she turned on him maybe it was just her nerves that didn't want to talk to him, look at him or even ride in the same car as him.  To tell him to get out of the car in the middle of the road that had to make Huff sick to his stomache.  His nerves were shot when he got to his apartment he couldn't even think straight he tried to pray it was mumbled yes he has a conscious and it was eating him up as to what had just happend.  This was the worse feeling he ever felt.  To top it off now they want to invesigate as to what appeared to the people as to be an accident is now turning into something Huff and Phyllis never anticipated. Wow!

Tea for two

"Didn't I ask you for tea?  Didn't I have you come over when Belle was off?"  Mrs. Nirdlinger.  What a lady of seduction, clearly she goes after the men that she wants.  When she left the message with Nettie she had it planned out as to when she would be making the call to Huff.  He's not so innocent either he played right into the plan that she had.  Matter of fact I see him as waiting for the call after all when she called three days later to come by he was expecting to see her in the blue pajamas.  Because of her mannerism and the clothes that she wears she clearly fits in the charteristic of the women in the world of noir.
"But don't you call me, I'll call you I promise" Mrs. Nirdlinger.  I love it how she holds the ball in her court clearly Huff falls for it be his response"All right then kiss me good night."  Huffs must have forgot who he was talking too, after all this is Mrs. Nirdlinger.  Her response "Good night.
