Viewing Notes

Terrific performance by Edward G. Robinson as clairvoyant illusionist trying to save the life of his “daughter” while also proving that he’s legit and not a con-artist. Snappy little murder mystery by John Farrow and a real treat to see in 35mm at MBT as part of the Noir City 5 film festival. Sadly not available on DVD.
