But it is interesting, right? Dixon hill is playing on the trope. Hardboiled PI in a dingy office with a wise cracking secretary and a dime-piece femme-fatal dame walks in and drags him into a mystery and the PI's sarcastic inner-monologue is narrating the whole thing. That's THE image. That's what TNG was playing off in the '80s. And probably since the '70s-onwards. That's been the trope. That's what get's referenced and parodied. But, it's surprising how few noir flicks are even like that. Off the top of my head, The Dark Corner (1946) is closest to be the only one that's that exact thing.
