These photos, taken in Ithaca by Richard Rand, seemed so suggestive to us, and so evocative of certain noir films of the 1950s, that we thought we would base an informal challenge on them. To wit: write a brief plot summary of a movie from which these are stills; preferably under 125 words, in the form of a comment. The winner as judged by one of our heroic fellow window-shoppers will earn bragging rights and a toast at Cafe Loup.
