Noir Shots – The Enforcer (1951)

On day 7 of ‘Noirvember 2022,’ I deal with ‘The Enforcer (1951)’ starring Humphrey Bogart. A hard boiled Noir with a great story and several twists. The focus in this post is on some shots that follow. And when I write ‘shots’ it has a dual meaning. Enjoy and stay agile to dodge projectiles.

Two killers want to execute a crown witness in a multiple murder case.

A night …

… covered with bullets …

... and shadows.

Shootout between hitmen.

Herman in the mirror left, didn´t see it coming …

… Kaboom! Ferguson´s bullet got him first. Case closed. By the way, Humphrey Bogart also “shot” his fellow actor Bob Steele in ‘The Big Sleep (1946)’ during a similar scene. You can see the this one in my detailed review: https://classicmovieratings.com/the-big-sleep-1946-noirs-pleasures/

Which Noir Films shall I cover next?

Thanks for reading.

“Great movies are like a storm. At first you sit still. Unshakeable. At ease. Just hearing silent drops of rain far out in the distance. But then, suddenly, something blows you away.”

There is a lot about me I could tell you. For example that I love movies since I was a kid. Also that I´m just in my thirties and write about classic movies. That I have a family and a full time job and enjoying films in my spare time. Another remark would be that I´m a passionate of ratings.

But I´m not going into to much details here. You will get to know me a lot better while reading my posts and enjoying my website.

Stay sharp, don´t let you get down from the stress of daily life and enjoy the enchanting world of classic movies.

Sit down and relax while we run through the Vienna sewers with Harry Lime, warning Marion Crane not to turn right, asking Rick Deckard if he´s a replicant or not, wondering if we would get ‘Double Indemnity’, peeking with Jeff and Lisa through a ‘Rear Window’, singing ‘Moon River’ at a New York balcony with Holly Golightly and so much more.

Thanks a lot for reading.
