Viewing Notes
This is just fucking good noir. Period. Even as this film draws toward its ultimate conclusion and reveal I still had no idea who the killer was. So many red herrings and yet so fucking good. Thrilled to see Laird Cregar again (again playing the creep, a role he was made for) and Betty Grable seemed to get more attractive as the film went on. Carole Landis also very cute.
