Viewing Notes
November really is a good month for film noir. Dark early but not quite winter. Noirvember makes a lot of sense.
Love the use of location in both SF/LA. Good story too “You’ve been murdered!” Thought I had seen this one but glad to have it unseen to for this event.
Nice one to kick off the month.
