I've always been a fan of Where the Sidewalk Ends, with Dana Andrews as a cop with anger issues who isn't afraid to rough up someone. When he accidentally goes too far he chooses to do a cover-up and things go badly. I do agree the romance (with Gene Tierney) makes no sense and is forced, even by noir standards, but looking past that I think it's a top-notch film noir with an ending that has some emotional impact. I had it at #11. Glad to see it make it.
My List:
11. Where the Sidewalk Ends (#66)
20. This Gun for Hire (#78)
