How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A snappy 1930s mystery romp where a masked vigilante juggles identities and unravels a murder plot with pulp-serial energy and quick-witted charm. The film moves at a breezy clip, never lingering long enough for its contrivances to be questioned.
