Reno + Esther Howard


Just saw this movie after "Born to kill" (1947) which is partly set in Reno, "smallest big city in the world" with a memorable role for Esther Howard.

Then I start watching this one and it starts great - he arrives in, right, Reno "smallest..." and goes berserk over a song in Esther Howard's diner.

This movie has some great dialogues and I wonder of these two Reno movies, I think it has the edge - but both are good.

Anyone know any other film noirs where that Reno sign shows up?

It's actually "The biggest little city in the world."
