The structure is interesting even experimental but the plot is classic noir. Bogart and Bacall, a love born of difficult circumstances. The first 20 minutes or more of the movie is first person, you are the camera, your seeing things from the leads point of view. Bogart just escaped from prison (where he was serving time for a murder he didn't commit), only he's not Bogart yet, that's why no face. A creepy plastic surgeon gives him a new face, but he still must deal with suspicious cops, a small time crook who wants to blackmail him, and the person who really murdered his wife. Everything you could want from this kind of picture really, and in unusual packaging.
