I thought I would introduce myself to the work of Otto Preminger by delving into one of his film noirs, and so came along Where the Sidewalk Ends, starring Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney.
Being a fan of both the noir genre and typography, my heart was captured in the opening five seconds of the film. Talk about an impressive title sequence!

"Why do you always try to push me in the gutter, Dixon? I got as much right on the sidewalk as you."

"Preminger believes first in mise en scene, the creation of a precise complex of sets and characters, a network of relationships, an architecture of connections, an animated complex that seems suspended in space." - Jacques Rivette
