Shown for theatrically for the first time in 40 years at the 2003 San Francisco Noir Festival, this rediscovered gem has some of
the classic elements that make the genre so appealing; here an innocent bystander to a murder is on the run with a wife who is
desperately trying to find him before the cops or the killer can get to him.
A wisecracking Ann Sheridan careens around San Francisco with reporter Dennis OÕKeefe who may or may not be an ally.
One of the delights of this film is that the city is portrayed realistically with picturesque 1950 settings in North Beach,
Chinatown, Telegraph Hill and the long gone Playland at the Beach.
One interesting bit of trivia: Norman Foster later ditched the noir formula and became a successful director of Disney hits such as Zorro and Davy Crockett and eventually went on to direct episodes of the Batman and Green Hornet television series..
