The House on Telegraph Hill
Directed by Robert Wise
- eif999March 3, 2025Way too high brow - with folks wearing tuxedos and gowns to dinner and being filthy rich - to really satisfy my noir itch. So much so that I question if anyone in San Fransisco lived like that in the 40s. Lush but way too soapy. Imagine how famous a house like that would be looking over all of the city with cliff drop offs like a vampire castle.
