"Woman on the Run" is a 1950 black-and-white film noir directed by Norman Foster.

As the film opens, a man, Frank Johnson, is walking his dog in the city at night. He witnesses a man talking about a crime in a car and then gets shot. Johnson is seen and shot at by the man in the car but he misses. The killer flees in the car. It turns out the shooting victim was going to testify in a court case against a gangster and now the cops, now with a dead witness, want Johnson to testify. Johnson, at the scene of the crime with police, goes into hiding possibly to escape from possible retaliation from the mob. His wife, Eleanor (Ann Sheridan), suspects he is actually running away from their unsuccessful marriage. With the help of a newspaperman (O'Keefe), Eleanor sets out to locate her missing husband while the police and the apparent killer keeps tabs on her.

The film was shot on location in San Francisco and at Pacific Ocean Park, Santa Monica, California during the amusement park roller coaster scene.
