Viewing Notes

I believe this is a lost log from 2021-22 bc a few deja vu moments. Also one of those movies I should’ve seen by now and yet surprised it didn’t screen at any of the Noir City Chicago events.

Transfer on Archive looked very good but I did view in my phone. Alan Ladd didn’t bug me in this; still not a fan of his smugness here. I’ll never be able to accept Bonita Granville as a bad girl.
