It was considered a “B” movie.
It was Wonderful.
I saw it for the first time at the Brattle Theater at Harvard University during a Bogie festival back in the 60’s.
I was blown away by it!
That’s right. A B movie. Turned out better than some A movies.
I don’t remember when I first saw it, but I’ve seen it a zillion times. I think Casablanca turned me on to old movies. I really don’t like most of what’s out there these days. They just don’t compare to movies from long ago.
