Viewing Notes
Another flick off the Film Noir set I got from the library (so I could watch TRAPPED). This has a good premise but the execution isn’t so hot… like all the pieces are there but the script just muddles thru it. I like Tom Conway so that’s a plus even if he’s a bad dude. Ava Gardner is stunning as the femme fatale Mary. The transfer was p shitty so that had an affect my viewing. I wouldn’t mind seeing a restored print in a theater.
