The Beat Generation

I don't know if you could call this noir but if it is, it's one of the most insane noirs I've ever seen. It's the only noir that climaxes with the hero chasing the bad guy underwater while dodging harpoons. The film is campy and trashy and yet also has a moral, anti-misogynistic center. Frankly, I don't know what to make of it. It's all over the place. In most respects it's pretty bad but also weirdly compelling. I can't honestly say I liked it, but I sure as hell couldn't stop watching it.
