Born to Kill (1947)
Some of the best wardrobe you'll ever see.

This is a disturbing film, but is a classic film-noir and shows Claire Trevor off better than I have ever seen her. The wardrobe is stunning! The tailored suits and dresses are among the best I've ever seen. This film never achieved the popularity it deserves, probably because it is so "dark." I thought Walter Slezak was under-used in his small role as the private investigator, but, as always, he gave a terrific performance. The smaller roles were beautifully realized by wonderful character actors. The cinematography is gorgeous black-and-white, reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock black-and-white. Watch it just for the wardrobe and Clair Trevor's beauty.
