Another McGuffin based mystery "Kiss Me Deadly" almost has magic in it--in the sense that radioactive material is something outside most people's experience.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-19274119782164824872014-02-16T15:00:32.082-05:002014-02-16T15:00:32.082-05:00I watched the 1941 version of the Maltese Falcon l...I watched the 1941 version of the Maltese Falcon last night and you could easily substitute something weirder for the falcon, and have when the movie ends (they discover what they have been chasing and killing over is a fake) as just a part of the sequence. You also get a badass set of NPCS.
