Okay, tomorrow (thunderous drum roll, please) Noir City opens in the cavernous Castro Theatre, and if you’d like to check out locations from some of the movies showcased in past years that were shot on location here in San Francisco, have I got the site for you! The mysterious CitySleuth has launched Reel SF, taking you locale-by-locale through D.O.A., Bullitt, Vertigo, Thieves’ Highway, Dark Passage, Woman on the Run, The Sniper, The Lineup and more — with more to come. San Francisco, movies, especially noir movies — check it out, and have fun.

Welcome to a hard-boiled and not without noir blog with news and reviews, occasional outbursts of maniacal Autograph Hound activity, plus archival records from the forty-five year run of The Dashiell Hammett Tour. -
