Version I watched sound 2.0(not original mono)
1st watched 6/10/2022 - (Dir-Norman Foster):
Well done chase movie where the one getting chased is not a woman, despite the title. The movie starts as a man walking his dog hears a shot, and views a mob leader murdering a man. He than disappears and the cops, a reporter, and possibly the mob go looking for him. The cops and a reporter track down the wife, played by Ann Sheridan, but she seems to not be of much help initially because her relationship with the lost man wasn't very good currently, and she knows very little about where he might be. A supposed reporter takes an interest in a possible story and befriends the wife. They than find out that he has a heart condition and the wife warms up a little so she can find him and give him his life-saving medicine. During the hunt, she start learning things about her husband that brings her closer to putting things right with them once he is found. The movie keeps your interest throughout with twists and turns that are brilliantly done, but I can't share so that those who want to watch this will learn for themselves instead of from my review. This is less a "mobster movie" than a "wrong guy on the run" type even though it was compiled with other mobster-type movies in the dvd I watched. There are very few flaws with this movie, and it would be an excellent find for those who are able to see it.
