Mystery, not noir crime film[edit]
This is not film noir as asserted in the first sentence, neither stylistically nor thematically. The reference cited, its entry the AFI Catalog, does not mention "noir" at all; its genre is given there as "mystery". That is also more accurate than "crime film", since the crime was long ago committed, but not solved for 20 years, and its solution is the basis of the film. Accordingly, I have changed "file noir crime film" to "mystery". BMJ-pdx (talk) 10:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
