A ★★★ review of The Garment Jungle (1957)

Looking at the cover for this in the Indicator Colombia Noir #1 boxset (and it's title) you would almost think it is a giallo. Even the first kill in the elevator feels like something out of a nightmare and the film is set in the zenith location for the perfect giallo: the world of fashion. After that the similarities ends (except for the visual influences noir in general had on giallo) and we get the noir we came for. But The Garment Jungle is closer to On the Waterfront than any conventional film noir so I would recommend this if
