(aka "Daybreak" or "Guilt")
Directed by John Sturges
USA 1950
From writer Niven Busch, the author of Duel in the Sun, comes an equally torrid sizzler, loaded with the intrigue and passion that marked the golden age of cinema. Cast with strong performers, this story of guilt and forbidden love still packs a jolt. Injured and on the run from police, Lin Vanner (Lew Ayres) confesses the sordid details of his life to a priest, which includes the death of a man he'd turned over to the police. Vanner also reveals that he fell in love with the dead man's widow (Teresa Wright), only to have his past catch up to him. Haunting and offbeat, The Capture (1950) was directed by one of Hollywood's best, John Sturges (The Great Escape). *** A badly injured fugitive explains to a priest how he came to be in his present predicament. |

The Film Detective
Blu-ray
John Sturges' The Capture
has the appeal of the director, strong performers Teresa Wright and Lew
Ayres in a south-western milieu. While some film historians have
categorized it as a straight 'film noir', it doesn't escalate to that
level, imo, but could be termed as 'western noir' with its flashback
focus, murder, crime and themes of guilt within a western genre motif. I
was very pleased to see it via the Film Detective Blu-ray
as I am a fan of the director and cast. It's not a standout piece of
cinema but vintage era fans and those who enjoy the genre and stars will
probably get the most benefit. |
