Scorsese liked its economy, I think he related it more to Bresson than Melville.

Might make a nice companion piece with “Kiss Me Deadly” on a double bill, or even “D.O.A.” since both exploit radiation/nuclear themes. Every time I see Vince Edwards I have a sneaking suspicion that Sam Jaffee is lurking somewhere nearby.

Vince is even Vincier in MURDER BY CONTRACT, and Lerner is even more Melvillean. Together they make a great double bill.
