I WOULDN'T BE IN YOUR SHOES

Quintet of long shorts, by the author of last year's Phantom Lady, who makes a smooth dish of the macabre, ironical and sinister. Clever crime fancies in the stories of a man condemned by his shoes; the boy who dreams he murdered a woman and finds it is true; the band leader who gets into New Orleans voodoo and cannot get out alive; the man who plans to kill his wife and finds himself the victim; the forger trapped. Effective.
