Thanks to the efforts of the Film Noir Foundation, this terrific film noir, the only American print of which was burned in a 2008 fire, has been rescued and restored to its original Iustre!
This nervy, shot-on-Iocation thriIler featuring a stunning performance from Ann Sheridan (AngeIs with Dirty Faces, They Drive by Night), showcases one of the finest cinematic depictions of mid-20th century San Francisco.
After witnessing a gangland execution Frank goes into hiding, while his wife, EIeanor (Sheridan), and the cops go on a wild chase around San Francisco before Frank is siIenced by the mob. Eleanor is certain she Il Iead them to her husband, whose testimony against the kiIIer could bring down a crime kingpin. But EIeanor and her Frank are separated - she never wants to see him again. When roguish newspaperman Danny Legget (Dennis O Keefe, T-Men, Raw Deal) charms Eleanor into heIping him track down the hidden husband - there are unexpected, stunning, and poignant resuIts.
Restored by the Film Noir Foundation in conjunction with UCLA FiIm & Television Archive, Woman on the Run is finally made avaiIabIe in the UK for the first time on DVD and BIu-ray.
