Viewing Notes
Didn’t realize this was a film noir but I suppose it is given the time it was produced despite being a period film of the late 1800s in Bangor, Maine. That said this movie could’ve been set in the mid-40s with the same story (just update a few of the story beats). My biggest problem with this was the period setting yet with some of the characteristics of film noir. Just odd to embrace despite a terrific performance from Hedy Lamarr, who is also an evil, awful human in this.
