Viewing Notes

Another Terence Fisher Hammer Noir. This one is more akin to American noir than others I’ve seen in this set. Drunk guy wakes up with cash in his pocket and blood on his clothes and believes he accepted an offer to murder someone. Spends the rest of the movie trying to figure out what really happened.
