"...but it's true, so help me, I couldn't hear my own footsteps. It was the walk of a dead man."

I dug it. Can't believe this is my first Billy Wilder-film. Looking forward to exploring more of his films, and more noir-movies in genreal too.

Favourite IMDB trivia:
"Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler did not get along whilst writing the script, a process that was apparently filled with arguments. Wilder claimed that he flaunted his womanizing ability at the time just to torment the sexually-repressed Chandler."
