Viewing Notes
This film kicked off the Noir City Film Festival in Chicago. I think this is 4th year they done and the first that I’ve attended (any of the screenings). At least I don’t recall hitting any in the past. This was a great launch for the festival with a big turnout. Really wasn’t sure where the film was headed as three different stories are intertwined. But it comes together well. Peter Lorre is a master.
