A co-worker dragged me to this dramatization of a Cornel Woolrich pulp noir, published in 1937 in Black Mask, and the basis of Convicted, a film with Rita Hayworth. Somehow I doubt those earlier versions were as funny as this one. The dialog retains all the grammatical and syntactical devices of a story with characters describing their actions and framing their own lines with third person interjections. The language falling between Chandler, Hammett and Damon Runyon.

Confetta, you would love this and it's right around the corner at Project Artaud, but there are only a couple more performances.
