Woman on the Run
Unfortunately, the version which is on prime video is a version which is colored and looks absolutely awful. Characters constantly changing and fading to different shades in the same scene. Despite this it was still very enjoyable. Some incredible suspense here and a very good mostly improvised script. Loved the rollar coaster ending.

Some great cinematography. I also love a film noir with a female lead.

***A briskly-paced film noir that presents a rather unconventional form of the genre in the story. Despite having quite abrupt developments (maybe to keep up with the pace of the film), the movie makes up with resolved performances by Ann Sheridan as Eleanor, and by Robert Keith as wacky Inspector Ferris, and some really smart dialogues.  

Also, they have a doggo named Rembrandt. Artsy. 🐶🤔
