Destination Murder (1950)

Destination Murder (1950)
is a blackmail and murder mystery queer-coded cinema-fantasy delivery boy fantasy psychopathic gang leader fantasy female seeker hero classic Edward L. Cahn film and also a classic film noir, by any sane and sober measure of the style, and doubtless listed as such because as far as Edward L. Cahn film noir output goes and is, this must be his noir masterpiece, the most classical and memorable of his out pout in that style and canon, Cahn's classic expression of the classic film noir style, and perfection ahoy.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the female seeker hero was a new twist in storytelling, and she was unique to film noir. 

Destination Murder (1950) is a good time. It is a film of stupidity greed and fo sho sho fire murder. It is not possible to relate any information regarding this cine-fayre without mention of the player piano which is a large part of its attraction.
