S R A better than average film noir focusing on an insurance agent trying not to cheat on his wife with a femme fatale blonde. It was on Tubi. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review acsdoug D The Hays Code compelled the film makers to only hint at things that should have been made explicit. Still, if you read between the lines this turns out to be a good noir. Lizabeth Scott is always a pleasure to watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Lincoln B NOTE: i watched this film weeks ago yet my original review was deleted so I’m rewriting it based on what stuck out in my memory from this film I stumbled upon this movie on cable tv with my sister and we simply couldn’t believe how bad it was. The film tells the story of a married lawyer who as an affair with one of his clients whose boyfriend is a convicted felon. The set-up is somewhat unbelievable and the acting could be better. The plot line of a “Love Triangle” (or in this case a pentagon) is old and overused, yet the twist of characters inside of it trying to kill each other is somewhat disturbing. The film’s last few scenes drag on in such odd ways, we thought that a certain character would commit suicide (he doesn’t ). The film’s ending is quite unsatisfying and sudden. We found ourselves asking why we’d even bother trying to finish it. In conclusion, “Pitfall” is a mediocre movie that fails to deliver a satisfying ending and character arc. I wouldn’t recommend trying to watch it unless you’re really interested in the noir genre and okay with a less than satisfactory plot. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Martin B Interesting that every primary character played by an actor or actress playing the character part they were known for in movies. Casting not creative but the script was and the skilled veteran actors wove a yarn with no down time. The tangled web of deceit and deception by not really bad people building and building. We knew it would come to a head but there was no way to predict what would happen or when. Jane Wyatt absolutely radiant one wonders how any man could let his eye wonder with her in his life which I suppose is part of what made it work. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review nick s An entertaining noir film with husky Lizbeth Scott at her sultry best. The main character lacked charm, but still well acted. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Georgan G One of my favorite film noir thrillers. Quite a snappy script with very little drag time. Great acting from some of that generations best actors. Raymond Burr as a bad guy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
