Some take aim at those films identified as film noir if their stories’ setting takes place during an earlier time than the classic period (1940 - 1959) from which they were made. They insist that this alone would disqualify a film from being categorised as such, even though the dark criminal surroundings and emphasis on character motive are present and accounted for. The Tall Target is such a film and for myself, joins other so called “period noirs” that are rightfully embraced in the film noir canon. Anthony Mann's 1951 effort, a prior recommendation here
