Viewing Notes

of course I couldn’t sleep when I need to before a big movie marathon tomorrow so I decided to throw on this film noir via TCM Channel. Dug the intro by Eddie Muller who sells it quite well. Very solid flick even tho as per usual we know this guy (Charles McGraw) is going way overboard for the femme fatale (Joan Dixon) which will lead to tragedy. The car chase in the sixth street viaduct is great. Nice to get in at least one film noir for Noirvember!
