A great visual story as always and Mary's always a beaut imo. And unrelated and that never stopped me, especially when I'm home batching it with Netflix and Rusko the Wonder Dog ... but there's only one man I can think of who might have enjoyed this line as much as I did even if he can't remember it off the top of his head: "Have a beer on me, Sam, and throw a pinch of salt over your shoulder – this case is beginning to move."

And here's how it ended: "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them."

Ah, yes, The Naked City -- a great movie, and a very influential one, both in terms of police procedurals and shooting on location.

Won an Oscar for cinematography ...
