'But anyway, Cambridge. I used to sneak away whenever I could. I saw French and Italian classic films at the Arts Cinema—'46, '47, '48, '49. [...] This was the heyday of Hollywood noir movies. I remember going to see T-Men. Which only cineastes have heard of. Hard-edged, really tough gangster film. I remember watching that and thinking it's much more important to see T-Men than go and listen to Dr Leavis'.
J. G. Ballard, 1999
