For some reason, I’m not sure why, I’ve been going to run this one a few times but just didn’t. Maybe I did. It’s a well rated noir … 7.2 … good comments … hmmmm, I found the night scenes too dark in a cinematic, not noir way. Even in restaurants, it was not light. Maybe I’m not crazy for Ann Sheridan … just can’t recall.
Ah right … just read the plot in Wiki, too many spoilers … I do recall the film. Not bad first time … but after you know … well … it was still a good film.
“Ross Hunter worked as dialogue director for the film as well as for several other films starring Sheridan at Universal. According to film noir historian Eddie Muller, much of the film’s dialogue was improvised, a rarity for the era, and no continuity script was completed.”
