You can't be a fan of classic films without being aware of Joan Leslie, but to the movie-goer-at-large it is not a name that rings any bells.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-22702586078974054002018-03-12T17:41:33.280-07:002018-03-12T17:41:33.280-07:00Um, this sounds amazing!

Wow - it was made in 1989 and Joan Leslie appears as a party guest.

This sounds like a future Top 10 fave movie – where has it been all my life?<br /><br />I was a bit discouraged to read in the comments that there isn't a lovingly-restored Blu-ray copy available, but no matter.

Still, combining noir with the fantastic concept of repeating a period of time sounds like a good idea on paper (or pixels in this case).Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-11613780672062955852018-03-09T11:07:39.916-08:002018-03-09T11:07:39.916-08:00I forgot, the ending is really sad.

Don't think there is a cleaned-up copy on the market, seems Amazon is selling a bootleg one.<br />This movie is a worthy candidate for restoration. I'm not Richard Basehart's biggest fan at all, but he's good here. It's a very unique Noir.Margot Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580855468061590981noreply@blogger.com
