  • The San Francisco Story is a 1952 film noir in a Western setting directed by
    Robert Parrish, starring Joel McCrea and Yvonne de Carlo.

    The rough and tumble Barbary Coast of San Francisco is recreated with attention to detail,
    including Florence Bates as a saloon keeper Shanghaiing the unwary.
    Noir elements include lots of shadows, discordant musical score, snappy dialogue,
    a disabused hero who resists the good fight, and a femme fatale.
    A schematic but insightful rendering of political corruption, the film is essentially about standing up to bullies.
