99 River Street from 1953 with John Payne, Evelyn Keyes, Peggie Castle, Brad Dexter and Frank Faylen Most movies land somewhere on a continuum that runs from near reality to full-on fantasy depending on the vision of the writers and director. 99 River Street is film noir stylized for effect...- Fading Fast
