paul d William Clemens' Crime by Night is a little gem of a movie. Jerome Cowan and Jane Wyman are a great team of sleuths, their chemistry and riffs on each other reminded me of William Powell and Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey. As good as Wyman is in this film, she is overshadowed by an omnipotent Jerome Cowan, whose private detective combines serious work with a sly smile and a mild, mocking cynicism that spares no one. The film is a breezy whodunit with an intricate plot, a fast pace and a fine supporting cast. One interesting note is the attire. Despite being filmed in the middle of WW2, the three lead female characters were dressed in stunning fashions, at every moment. Could it be that citizens beleaguered by the war found solace in glamour on the silver screen ?
