How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delightfully scrappy romp through California's criminal underworld, where a fraudulent spiritualist and her motormouth boyfriend stumble into genuine danger while chasing an inheritance. It's Hitchcock filtered through vaudeville, suspenseful but never scary, funny but grounded enough to maintain real stakes.
