Thank you for introducing this film. I watched the entire film I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Woman on Run is a masterpiece. Being a San Franciscan, I definitely enjoyed seeing the old days of my town :)

So weird when I watch a recommendation then realize I've seen the movie. Rewatch imminent. Thanks.

Enjoyed this ❤

Thoroughly enjoyable and clear narration. Hope you upload more of these 👏👏👏

I have lived in San Francisco for 44 years, and love your descriptions. One nitpick: it would be more accurate to say that the buildings are built level and plumb onto a variety of slanting, crooked streets.

Watching from OAKLAND today!

You do get a lot of Noir set in San Francisco. This is an unscientific ranking, but of "classic" noir I would guess the number one locale is L.A., followed by S.F., with N.Y.C. a surprisingly distant third. What's also noteworthy is that a surprising number of these films do utilize location shooting. Most Hollywood films were shot almost exclusively within the confines of a Hollywood studio until the late 1960's. My guesses as to why S.F. was the exception are: (1) San Francisco is close enough to L.A. for relatively easy travel. Remember, this is before jet air travel. Sound film equipment was also still fairly large and cumbersome. S.F. was within reasonable travel distance to send a crew and equipment and still be fairly economical. (2) Many noir stories required a contemporary urban setting. Though L.A. did actually have some pretty dense urban areas at this time (notably Bunker Hill), overall it was a sprawling bunch of suburbs in search of a city. S.F. is known to have a denser "eastern" looking development pattern like New York or Boston. However... (3) While the urban landscape of San Francisco may have featured some reminders of cities back east, its location on the west coast, i.e. the "gateway to the Pacific", its historic reputation from the rough and tumble "anything goes" gold rush and Barbary Coast years, and its diverse population and cultures (including one of America's biggest Chinatowns) gave it a more exotic and intriguing air. There's a line in The Portrait of Dorian Gray about how everyone who's missing eventually turns up in San Francisco. And that's what it was for much of its history: a place you could go to get away from your past and start over as someone else. Of course, once you've got there, you've also reached the end, at least of the American continent. Your back is up against the wall, figuratively speaking. That's what noir is all about.

Woman on the Run is fantastic. Made me a fan of Ann Sheridan.

One of my favorites.❤

Great movie.

The head detective same actor who plays the milquetoast sherrif in The Wild One.

The biggest small town in the USA.

Where’s Part I?

It probably would have been cool to see San Francisco when it was a blue collar town.

NORA PRENTISS is almost as good, the protagonist lives in Sea Cliff. There u go. Life on the edge ... This titellation is a misnomer : the correct 1 : MAN ON THE RUN. . . Among the top 3 exterior SF films noir , THE LINEUP, HITCHTIGO surpassing
