I remember seeing ToE in a professor's conference room one afternoon
and I had seen it other times as well. Dennis Weaver before he was
Chester or McCloud. Mercedes McCambridge playing a butch. Heston in his
pre-gun nut hero days. Thestory is, after time, pretty vague. Orson Wells as Omar The Tentmaker: a bad cop covering up evidence or something.
What's different about the restored version?
As to Noir, I can actually point you to noir swing music made
in the late 90's. The band is called Blue Plate Special. The
name of the tune is "A Message For Paul Drake": Perry Mason from
Paul Drake's point of view. A great song. If you want it, let me know.
