Viewing Notes

Weinberg was on his noirfest recently watching a bunch film noir and tweeting highlights. This was one of them. Decent little compact thriller that is elevated more by the melodrama and atmosphere than the actual story. Love all the shots of the city from overheads to on the street. I gotta wonder if more babies were mixed up at the hospital back in the day. Seems like it’d be very easy to do.
