WOMAN ON THE RUN (1950; Norman Foster)

I am a big dog person, so movies with dogs in them tend to have a little edge when attempting to curry my favor. There's few better movie dogs than 'Asta' - Nick and Nora's pooch from the THIN MAN films. WOMAN ON THE RUN has 'Rembrandt', a charming mutt mix with some personality. Ann Sheridan says he got the name because her husband said that that would be the closest they'd ever to to owning one. Sadly the pup isn't in the movie enough, but the movie makeup for it with an interesting climax. It takes place at a pier amusement park and involves a rollercoaster. Memorable stuff. Also a surefire candidate for my 2016 film discoveries list.
Special Features:
-An Audio Commentary Track – By author, cinema historian, and “noirchaelogist” Eddie Muller.
-“Love is a Rollercoaster: Woman on the Run Revisited” – Produced by Steven Smith and the Film Noir Foundation, this mini-doc offers a look into the making of the film, from script to noir classic.
-“A Wild Ride: Restoring Woman on the Run” – Produced by Steven Smith and the Film Noir Foundation, this stranger-than-fiction document of the film’s restoration is a thriller in itself.
-"Woman on the Run Locations Then and Now" - City Sleuth (aka Brian Hollins) leads a virtual tour around San Francisco hunting down the many locations used during the production of Woman on the Run.
-“NOIR CITY” – A short documentary directed by Joe Talbot about the annual NOIR CITY film festival presented by by the Film Noir Foundation at San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre
-A 24-Page Souvenir Booklet – Featuring rare photographs, poster art, original lobby cards, and an essay by the one and only Eddie Muller.
