Somewhere in the Night (1948) This has all the gloomy, alienating, nighttime elements of the best film noirs, and it's smack in the central Post War best of it. It even has a director, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, known for handling dramatic, emotional situations with both delicacy and power.

The commentary track by noir historian Eddie Muller is overall worthwhile, and Muller has some good insights into the noir style, saying, for example, "In film noir, the good women work for a living and the bad women want something for nothing."
