Viewing Notes
This is the movie scheduled for today, a new 35mm struck by MoMA (after a restoration). Found it streaming online to save me an hour+ of travel time & 7 bucks. But I’m sure that new print looks amazing and way better than this sketchy transfer I’m watching on my iPad.
This film is fine. Myra Loy is the best. The crime stuff is a bit rushed as it all builds towards the end. Perhaps seeing it in 35mm would change my rating. Ah well.
