Woman on the Run

It would be great to see a sharp print of this but the movie is so good, the less than pristine quality didn't stop me from enjoying it. San Francisco plays background to our characters here, and there ARE some gorgeous shots of the city,such as Ann Sheridan's Mrs. Johnson walking down a steep sunny sidewalk or the very first scene in which her husband is out walking the dog one night, climbing the steps of a city park, lighting a match on a posted sign "Curb Your Dog". At first, Ann's unattractive hairdo was a little alarming but as her patented wit and humor surface so does her charm and long-lasting appeal. Head detective,trying to locate the missing Mr. Johnson,starts digging into their messy marriage:"Didn't you try to get a job?" Mrs. J., incredulously:"Why should I? That's his responsibility not mine."(just a taste of the good ol' days).A nosey reporter trying to dig up the facts from the protective wife:"Where's your husband Mrs. Johnson?"/"I don't know"/"Did he see the killer?"/"I don't know"/"Shall we dance?"/"Why don't you drop dead!" A nice little movie with a little bit of everything to please everyone. Boy would I like to see a sharp print of this! But check it out nevertheless-it's buried treasure. P.S.the cover scan Netty provides is actually for a 1993 made-for-TV mini-series called "Woman on The Run:The Lawrencia Bembenek Story" starring Tatum O'Neal but you'll still get the Ann Sheridan 1950 film                   2/26/09
