The amount of rain coming down in this scene - I half expect him to run into Jimmy Cagney.

Shame he didn't have Cagney's brevity.

"They'll shoot him."
"I hope they do. I hope they kill him." Hey, live by the Randian ethics, die by them. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGangster

And the dominoes fall. He didn't help Karty, so Karty killed Jammy... and Jammy was under Cornell's protection.

Also, MST3K quote, "The faces of those he wronged surround him!" #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGangster

What? You mean that all of Shubunka's paranoid possessiveness and constant insecurity drove her to betray him? I'm shocked. Shocked. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGangster

"Oh, that hurts..." The mini drama of Shorty's love life comes to its inevitable end. In some ways, Shorty's a bit like Shubunka. All he thinks about is getting a return on investment. #NoirAlley #TCMparty #TheGangster

And with that, Jammy's fate is sealed. Karty's desperation plus all the happy going-ons leads to a domino effect death. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGangster

Shubunka's so insecure...

And yet he can treat others like trash. "You're nothing to me!"

'Conscience? Mottos on a wall!" If Shubunka had a father with 400K in starter money, he'd be President now. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGangster

Have to admit, the film's efficient when it shows how Shubunka's connections are being strangled by Cornell's syndicate connections. #NoirAlley #TCMparty #TheGangster
