I liked Pushover. It is a good second-tier Noir. It is unusual in that there was genuine sentiment between the mark (MacMurray) and the Femme Fatale (Novak), as confirmed at the end. You correctly describe it as "a poor man's Double Indemnity" but, hell, what Noir would not look inferior up against that masterpiece?
The rest are the sort of movies I avoid like the plague anyway, regardless of the director, so your comments will not influence me there.
Good to see someone on this board prepared to be critical about Hollywood productions and not refer to the actors as "Kirk", "Fred" and "Kim" as if they were your intimate buddies.
I look forward to your similarly tackling another director's oeuvre where I have watched more of the films.
