Description

A dark, brooding masterpiece of shame, greed, and lust in a town fresh for felony.Madox was not all bad.  He was just half-bad.  But lure a guy like Madox in a dead-end job in a stultifying little town, expose him to some femme fatale like the Harshaw lady, and offer him a go in a quick fifteen thousand pounds--in a lender just asking to be pulled over--and his better character does not stand an opportunity. Cruel in its suspense, perfect in its understanding of the ways normal individuals hurtle within the side, The Spot is a good exemplory instance of sixties roman noir.
