"Pickup on South Street" (1953)

Black and white. A pretty decent movie if you like something a little less predictable than many. I was satisfied with the ending. The main attraction is plot. Music (e.g. sexy jazz saxophone music) almost absolutely necessary to help interpret how to view some of the scenes. Definitely an exercise in "who am I rooting for?", but not if you think too deeply about it. SPOILER ALERT: Not often you have both the good and the "bad guys" win in a movie.
