First time viewing for me, despite being a Kubrick fanatic. Pretty much loved most of it, specifically the unique and unorthodox style of storytelling. You can start to see little bits of future Kubrick peeking out in the camera movements and experimental film making. This might be blasphemous to say but I really did not care for the sort of out of place narration throughout. It’s what keeps the movie from becoming truly great Kubrick. I would still consider the film classic noir despite the troublesome narration.
