Viewing Notes

It took me a little bit to get into it, but as things rolled along and more pieces of the plot were revealed, I was hooked. There’s some great dialogue too, which is one of the things I’ve always enjoyed about film noir.

I wanted to watch this before revisiting the remake, Narrow Margin, for my Peter Hyams project. Glad I did.
