Some of the points are fair, but if there's only a year difference between the films, there was probably a lot of overlap in their production times, and both probably borrow from previous clichés of the noir genre.

Both are great flicks, though.
It's a small little thing but I kind of liked the Kung-Fu theme I came up with for the party, and the drawings of Me and Miller:
