Viewing Notes
Finally back at The Portage for another Northwest Chicago Film Society presentation. Been a while due to my schedule but fortunate to be around for this one as I’ve been chomping at the bit to watch it. So glad to see it on the big screen for my first viewing. Amazing flick with some incredible imagery. Damn, Mitchum. He really did make a career out of this character. Shelley Winters is also terrific. Such a haunting underwater scene.
