OMG, this is a very silly movie. It should have been billed as a comedy. Honestly, this is probably the worst so called 'noir' that I've seen. It's difficult to comment on it without spoilers. The premise, revealed at the end, and the protagonist's actions defy basic logic & common sense. McGraw's character talks tough, but is such an inept & pathetic dolt, that in the real world he would, at least, get fired.
I was curious about McGraw after thinking he had a perfect face for a thug in the similarly low-budget, but superior, noir 'T-Men', and after being impressed with his performance in a supporting role in 'In Cold Blood', but 'The Narrow Margin' is definitely not on a par with those two films.
