16.3.11

the dark corner (1946)


"The facts are phoney and end in a death sentance."
Upon release from jail, (framed by an ex-partner), Private investigator Bradford Galt (Mark Stevens) moves from the West coast to the East and a change of scene. But far from the easy life he craves, he finds he is in the centre of a plot, and is glad of the help his smart-cookie secretary (Lucille Ball) gives him.
Moody lighting, sassy dames, startlingly brutal violence, and wise-cracking dialogue - all leads to a decent noir.
