Silver, Ward, Ursini, Porfirio, p. 75: “Capitalizes on the iconography and motifs of classic film noir, but it is very much a film of the 1950s… It articulates a preoccupation of 1950s America with the problems associated with the ‘massification’ of American society (e.g. social conformity, middle-class malaise, suburbanization).” Grant, p. 147.
