Director: Arthur Lubin
Cast: Brian Donlevy, Ana May Wong, Ella Raines, Charles Goburn, Helene Walker

Doing the right thing never works out. I know. In this world, you turn the other cheek, and you get hit with a lug wrench – meet Walter Williams…

Beautifully filmed in Larkspur, Marin County California with brilliant casting and a great story, this one’s a personal favourite. The interiors, exteriors, and mechanisations are lovingly captured, as is the stunning Ella Raines. It’s one I have come across by chance many times, but could never remember its name, until now! It is presented here in its finest quality.

Fate plays an important part in these matters, enjoy…
