Steve D Interesting set up, laughable resolution. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Audience Member So often I commend beautifully shot movies, and this one is certainly one of them, cinematography by Paul Vogel, but I rarely acknowledge the people who are responsible for giving the lensman something interesting to shoot. So, kudos to this movie's art directors, Cedric Gibbons and Leonid Vasian; and, set decorator Edwin B. Willis. The film itself is enjoyable and the leads, Robert Taylor and Audrey Totter, are fabulous. There are, however, a couple of glaring plot points that don't work. Nonetheless... enjoy! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review deke p Kinda slow & a little depressing. Some interesting plot pts. Not ROBERT TAYLOR's best. Never heard of until watched on THE MOVIE CHANNEL 9/6/20 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Steven Kenet, suffering from a recurring brain injury, appears to have strangled his wife. Having confessed, he's committed to an understaffed county asylum full of pathetic inmates. There, Dr. Ann Lorrison is initially skeptical about Kenet's story and reluctance to undergo treatment. But against her better judgement, she begins to doubt his guilt, and endangers her career on a dangerous quest through dark streets awash with rain. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A modestly successful psychological drama cum Noir with good supporting performances, and one particularly nifty, snappy scene of a blustering attorney repeatedly misidentifying the doctor - it's the one moment when this movie hits us with snappy dialog, and it's very fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member High Wall is one of Robert Taylor's most unusual and successful performances. Often stereotyped as the beautiful lover or dashing hero, here Taylor brings depth and complexity to the character of Steven Kenet, a possible murderer. Kenet swings through a wide variety of emotions as his mental state alters and Taylor uses both face and body to render these memorably. The film noir photography and chiaroscuro add to the dramatic effect. Taylor is well supported by Audrey Totter, Herbert Marshall, H. B. Warner and others in this satisfying mystery.
