Going to try and watch this, I always find the older movies interesting. thanks
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about those old black and white movies, isn't there! And film noir is such an interesting film genre. I hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteSounds pretty good. Will see if I can find it someplace online. :)
ReplyDeleteIt comes and goes, like many of these old movies. Daily Motion seems to have it now: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1yn5p6
DeleteAn odd movie about forgiveness. I swear I think I saw this when I was young and watching all the old black and white movies on TV growing up. :)
DeleteThis was my first time. It is odd. The past comes back, and there just is no escape. Tragic :(
DeleteMy keyboard is still not working. Stopped by to let you know I was here and to wish you a beautiful Thursday and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll be glad when that keyboard is working again. So frustrating, I know.
