Viewing Notes

Another unconventional Christmas movie for the list. Really dug this film noir that’s less crime and more melodrama with the brush of fantasy (woman commits murder of her husband and wants a do-over so she gets it knowing everything that occurred but can she stop it from happening again???). Good stuff and terrific work by Joan Leslie in the lead. Really felt for her character.
