Murder My Sweet was probably the most confusing, but in a positive way of all the films we have seen so far. The twists and turn to create an effect of mystery was endless from the start of the film. Like most of the film noir films we have sampled so far, the plot starts with the main protagonist, Philip recollecting the event via flashback effect. Like most film noirs, this was built on the basis of mystery and skeptics. Philip was hired by an ex-con to find his long lost missing girlfriend. This was the beginning of spiraling events for Philip. Throughout the film it has kept the audience on the edge of their seat. Philip gets drugged and roughed up, there is not one but two femme fatales and countless amounts of murders and mysteries. The main mystery from the very start was who was the missing girlfriend, Velma that he was suppose to find. This was lead on up until near the very end, which showed that Helen, the wife was the person he was looking for all along. Helen or Velma turns out to be a mass murderer and a crook in her own right. In the end it seemed that the good finally prevails in this film, and the protagonist actually ends up with a femme fatale in the end, which was the step-daughter of Helen/Velma, Ann. I felt this was done due to the current events of the time, which was after the Great Depression and during WW2.
