  5. A fair enough film to while away a Covid-19 curfew in northern Iraq (having exhausted the premier league of films noirs and war films). No known actors (to my knowledge) and has several 'B' aspects to it. Although not top tier actors, they put in a solid performance. Fortunately, at 1 hr 06 mins, the running time is appropriate and the storyline and pace are taut enough.

  7. Sure packed a lot into 66mins and a few seconds. So as a B film would it have been in theatres as a supporting film to a top billing film? Enjoyed watching, although not familiar with the cast. Bit before my time.

  8. Love the Furs and Cuban heels …
    During the war? You know … the boys deserve parkas and parachutes, not all that nose art stuff they paint on B-17s!

  18. The belief that every criminal can be rehabilitated.
    That there is no such thing as genetics and heredity
    The belief that psychopaths are imaginary.

  21. Really good fim from the good old days when they didn't need special effects and gratuitous sex and violece to entertain an audience.

  29. This was excellent. I sometimes find these early melodramas a trifle tedious but not this one. Thank you for uploading.🍿🍿🍿1/2🍿

  30. Back in the days when even young women wore stylish and classy hats. And the cosmopolitan hairdoos to match! Dr. Oudway's Lady friend for example! Wo!

    Anyway just a "crazy" observation I've made numerous times watching sundries of Film Noir and viewing photos and art from vintage mags and books.

    You've come a long way baby! Just to wearing t-shirts and meh jeans or revealing tights and sneakers:/ The contrast is quite striking.

  37. I'm 38 minutes in and utterly bored, something wrong with this movie. The amnesia guy is too old for the role and those women wouldn't be all over him in real life; I also don't like his pensil moustache. I seem to remember this guy as a bad ombre in a western or two, and he looked like a phony Mexican. Something's wrong here, I like old bnw movies a lot, particularly film-noir, which this for sure isn't, but this whole ensemble is like a caricature of something that could have been good, except that it isn't…not even after 38 minutes…I still think it's the weird moustache or the silent-movie-style makeup trying to make an older person look/act young. It ain't working unfortunately.
