nick s Well shot & acted. Was not overwrought. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Richard G. R Interesting Christmas-noir-mystery. Kinda wraps up in a "It's a Wonderful Life" fashion. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Insurance investigator, played by Dennis O'Keefe (who co-wrote the script), visits a small town to look into a suspicious killing. The procedure is interesting as actor Barbara Britton shines as the love interest who may have a relative involved in the cover up to a crime. Unfortunately, the third act falls apart. There's interesting early work by lensman Ernest Lazlo who would go on to earn eight Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty obvious plot, but you had to hang around to find out whodunnit. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
