Viewing Notes

Another film set in San Francisco! Some of it shot on location, too. The amusement park, however, was in Santa Monica since it was next to the water. Solid story with Ann Sheridan looking for her husband who witnessed a murder but the title is incorrect bc she’s not on the run; her husband is. Whatever. Good film noir!
