I'm heading to Sally's this afternoon. I'll catch it on YouTube down at her place. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteBTW, hope you are feeling better.
I hope y'all liked it. It's a good "noir".
DeleteI'm seldom able to take the time to watch, but today I did. Was dark, gritty, and I love the way the old movies had a kind of moral center. You did wrong and you paid the price. Thanks!! Was fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the "noir" films. No "happily ever after" "sweetness and light" for them. Those evil influences just take them down.
