Review of Somewhere in the Night

I did not enjoy "Somewhere in the Night" at all and almost turned it off, but I stuck with it since it was there. I am a film noir fan, but the genre, like all genres, has good films, average films, and bad films. "Somewhere in the night" is solidly at the bottom of the barrel. I would not recommend it, even to noir fans, as I am one and did not enjoy it. Like so many Mankiewicz films this film is too talkative, too self-aware, too long and slow, too incoherent, and too highly rated. I have nothing positive to say, and that is rare for me. I am shocked by how much I disliked this film, I went in expecting at least an average film noir. My rating: 1/10, avoid.
