Viewing Notes

Third movie of the night is an Argentinean film noir from the early ‘50s via Flicker Alley. The black and white cinematography, lighting, and set design are all excellent. The self-righteous conservative prosecutor is almost more of a villain than the child killer. What a dick!

This is essentially a take on Fritz Lang’s M.
