Kiss Me Deadly for noir films, though.

Was that the one with Dick Powell?

No, you are thinking of Murder, My Sweet. (The Chandler novel was called Farewell, My Lovely, because audiences might think it was a musical with that title. I think that Murder, My Sweet is better than Kiss Me Deadly, I can see why some people rank it with The Big Sleep. (By the way, The Falcon Takes Over was based on the same Chandler book, Farewell, My Loverl, which isn't half bad. Ward Bond plays the role Mike Mazurzki did in the former)
