Viewing Notes

Second movie watched from the Bad Girls of Film Noir DVD set I got from the library. Def a wild premise with our femme fatale being the carrier for small pox and brings the epidemic to NYC. But it’s more like a disaster flick as the crime elements get overshadowed by how can the officials deal w/the spread of small pox. That stuff isn’t so much fun. Still an okay watch for the good bits.
