Surprise !

This is much better than I had any reason to believe it might be.It is almost a noir, but, aside from Virginia Grey, must of the cast don't really register very well.A supporting turn by Lee Van Cleve, among others (David Brian, Sidney Blackmer, etc.) keep the movie moving along.And there is Vera Ralston, singing ersatz cafe songs, and the glory of TruColor.Still, why Eddie Muller hasn't championed the movie is beyond me, as he has justified far worse.For some reason, I stumbled across the movie on The Criterion Channel, which keeps surprising me, as one of the best movie streaming services available.

Watchable....

...for sure, but forgettable. Pretty good who done it yarn, though Vera Ralston is pretty bad. Enjoy seeing several actors you've seen before but may not remember their names.
