101 minute running time so the perfect length … this was an unusual one, reminded me of Nightmare Alley, which I loved … starring and directed by Robert Montgomery … set in a Mexican border town … film noir but with some twists (“non-urban noir”) … I liked it because it was just weirder than most movies from that time and has a unique vibe ... there are even long passages of untranslated Spanish dialogue … and tiny Dixie Wanda Hendrix was beautiful. This is a green-go, recommended movie.
