I love this write up...Eh Oh Toby La Rone et Leah. <br /><br />I love this write up and you both have a great and very different style of writing. I am becoming more intrigued with Noir Cinema as the weeks go on. Thanks.<br /><br />Although everytime I read Casbah you know I kept singing the classic Clash hit? Became very distracting!!
