d4doome<p>To Have and to Hold (1963), A British Edgar Wallace B-movie scripted by Jimmy Sangster. A cop gets involved with a woman who thinks he ex wants to kill her.

d4doome<p>Whistle Stop is a 1946 film noir starring George Raft and Ava Gardner. It doesn&#39;t go where you think it&#39;s going. Ava had gone to Chicago to find glamour, excitement, money. Now she&#39;s come back to the loser she loves. Excellent underrated movie.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2024/10/whistle-stop-1946.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfordoom-movieramblings.blogsp</span><span class="invisible">ot.com/2024/10/whistle-stop-1946.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/filmnoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>filmnoir</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GeorgeRaft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeorgeRaft</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/AvaGardner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AvaGardner</span></a></p>
d4doome<p>Hold Back Tomorrow (1955), a film noir about a man about to be hanged. He makes a last request - a woman for the night. He gets down-on-her-luck whore Dora (Cleo Moore).

Tony has a flirtation in Reno with a pretty schoolteacher but he&#39;s on his way to Mary his sweetheart whose uncle is a gangster, Tony&#39;s a nice guy with a shady past and now he&#39;s framed for murder.

d4doome<p>Chicago Deadline is a good 1949 hardboiled crime thriller with just the faintest hint of film noir, with Alan Ladd in top form as a reporter investigating a murder. There&#39;s an ambiguous femme fatale figure and a touch of cynicism.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2024/09/chicago-deadline-1949.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfordoom-movieramblings.blogsp</span><span class="invisible">ot.com/2024/09/chicago-deadline-1949.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/filmnoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>filmnoir</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DonnaReed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DonnaReed</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/AlanLadd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlanLadd</span></a></p>
d4doome<p>Lady on a Train (1945) is based on a Leslie Charteris story. Deanna Durbin witnesses a murder from a train window. A lighthearted comic murder mystery with a decided screwball comedy flavour. It’s rather delightful and Durbin is adorable.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2024/08/lady-on-train-1945.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfordoom-movieramblings.blogsp</span><span class="invisible">ot.com/2024/08/lady-on-train-1945.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/40smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>40smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1940smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1940smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/filmnoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>filmnoir</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DeannaDurbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DeannaDurbin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LeslieCharteris" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LeslieCharteris</span></a></p>

d4doome<p>Act of Murder (1964), a British Edgar Wallace B-movie, involves a romantic triangle and from the start the plot twists come thick and fast.

d4doome<p>Vice Raid (1959) is a crime potboiler which tries to be as lurid as possible given the constraints of the 50s. The reason to see it is Mamie van Doren playing a bad girl with the body of a goddess and the morals of an alley cat. She&#39;s fabulous.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2020/03/vice-raid-1959.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfordoom-movieramblings.blogsp</span><span class="invisible">ot.com/2020/03/vice-raid-1959.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1950smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1950smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1950smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1950smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/50smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>50smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/50smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>50smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/goldenagehollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>goldenagehollywood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/MamieVanDoren" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MamieVanDoren</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/crimemovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>crimemovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Bmovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bmovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Bmovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bmovies</span></a></p>
d4doome<p>The Spider and the Fly is a 1949 British crime thriller directed by Robert Hamer.

PMscenarios :astro:<p>Murder by Death might be one of the 70s movies I've watched that's aged the worst, and could be described as "if Clue decided to just make offensive jokes half the time".</p><p>There is an idea of a good murder mystery spoof movie there, and I found Peter Falk's Sam Diamond to be a stand-out performance, but it's just way too many bad taste jokes and too little actual witty.</p><p>From Peter Sellers yellow-face character just there for the movie to do "Oriental" quips (and an accent that might be more offensive than the dress-up) to the "blind" butler and "deaf and mute" cook who are there for comedic effect, we end with some "fun" queer and drag "jokes".

d4doome<p>So Sweet...So Perverse (1969), an Umberto Lenzi giallo starring Carroll Baker. With delightfully twisted nasty plot twists coming thick and fast.

d4doome<p>Midnight Lace is a 1960 Ross Hunter-produced US crime film set in London which gave Doris Day her last, and best, serious dramatic role. It&#39;s almost a proto-giallo, but with echoes of GASLIGHT.
