Second viewing (first one: between 1983 and 1986).
Based on the novel by James M. Cain, first published in 1934.
A drifter employs himself as a gas station mechanic, and starts an affair with the owner's wife.
Dry, amoral and very graphic rendition of the novel. Although I do not think it is an entirely successful film, my earlier bad opinion of it is unreasonable. At that time I was too easily bored.
