Look out for the signpost ahead noir-heads, you are about to experience one of the rarest B films to be found anywhere in Dark City. This movie is so rare, that there are simply no copies available of it on VHS or DVD anywhere including our library! Another truly “lost noir” rarity is brought back to life through the efforts of the Thursday Night Screenings.
A Cornell Woolrich novel was the source for the variable Monogram melodrama I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes. The plot refers to the dancing shoes of young terpsichorean Tom (Don Castle). A print from one of those shoes is found at the scene of a murder, and the police don't buy Tom's story that his footwear was stolen. The only person who believes in Tom's innocence is his wife and dancing partner Ann (Elyse Knox), and it is she who follows the trail of clues to the genuine killer. Without revealing the ending, it can be noted here that the actual miscreant has remained in very close proximity of both Tom and Ann all along -- and has been encouraged to do so by the police!
