The Fat Man (1951) may be one of Classic Film Noir\u2019s strangest forgotten mysteries. In this review, we explore J. Scott Smart\u2019s unconventional private detective Brad Runyan, an early appearance by Rock Hudson, and Emmett Kelly\u2019s memorable turn as circus clown Ed Deets. We\u2019ll examine the film\u2019s mystery, flashback structure, unusual story beats, and William Castle\u2019s economical filmmaking, along with its connection to Dashiell Hammett and the hard-boiled radio tradition. Is this obscure Noir worth rediscovering? Join the ALL FILM NOIRS PROJECT as we work through the database, one Noir at a time.
