How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A night-time caper where petty criminals and a lounge singer become unlikely saviors, turning a desperate man's darkest hour into an adventure of scheming charm and human connection. It's noir that doesn't take itself too seriously, all wit and heart set against the glitter of Broadway.
