I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes

I could make a comparison to a certain other film but that would be giving away its surprising twist. When the realization dawned on me it was one of those magic "How did I not see this coming?" moments. Certain plot points that at first seemed very contrived clicked into place (although to be honest, a lot of it is still kinda contrived). The performances aren't great, but sincere. The "wrong man" scenario provides the usual paranoia, and the tight running time makes this a worthwhile picture.

A wrong man noir with potential. Though it's hampered by mediocre acting, for a while the narrative is interesting enough to make things work. But the ending is pretty ridiculous and mostly in the wrong way.

O segredo dos sapatos estreava há 75 anos nos EUA. Noir bem meh se comparada a outras adaptaçõeso Cornell Woolrich, embora ainda consiga manejar algum suspense, mas é um bom filme de baixo orçamento com o tipo de produção que a Monogram podia bancar. Box Versátil Filme Noir Volume 19.

Low budget noir made for Monogram, but a good one. About a man wrongly convicted of a murder, and we follow Regis Toomey trying to mend things while trying to get with his wife. The cheap smell of this production matches the cheapness of the characters. A real B-movie thrill that knows its limits.
