And as for Grace featuring a "womanizer," I've always felt it was a woman who is cheating on her husband and now "Mr. Wrong" is offereing to knock him off so they can run away together.

He comes from downtown, he's a pro. He'll make it look like an accident with will and determination, when the appearance of conflict meets the appearance of force.

That's a pretty cool take on it. I always had the feel from it that it was some guy all pimped-up and trying to get laid. "Armed with will and determination", "I'm a total pro" and "come on, just let's go..." etc. But I can definitely see it as a hit-man. Either way, it still follows the typical film noir themes...

Yep. The lover/hitman motif is straight from the best and most famous film-noir of 'em all: Double Indemnity. Now that's a flick... a flick you say? Yeah, maybe I did... what's it to you, pal?
