a 40s crime thriller thats neither that engaging or joyfull to watch. to be fair, its not the negative worldview thats bad, its just that i don't really get anything substantial or that much from this story but like almost every old noir flick, its stylish with its light and its black and white cinematography.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic film noir where a recluse's attraction to a woman becomes a dangerous liability when his indifferent town needs a scapegoat for a murder. Suspense builds from the gap between truth and the mob's appetite for guilt.
