Genre List Manager: Here’s another Film-Noir...

(one of the best, in my and many other’s opinion), that definitely also needs Drama as a genre:

P.S. I do not understand the Sci-Fi genre for this title.  (It was NOT my addition!) Does anyone else?  Should it be deleted?

"noir veers into apocalyptic sci-fi in Robert Aldrich’s 1955 masterpiece Kiss Me Deadly, which, briefly described, tracks one of the sleaziest, stupidest, most bru­tal detectives in American movies through a nocturnal, inexplicably violent labyrinth to a white-hot vision of cosmic annihilation."
