directed by Vincent Sherman
USA 1947
Dr. Richard Talbot is bored with his hum drum
life. His life has become routine. He shows up for work at
the same time every day then heads home at six o'clock to a
passionless wife and two kids. His life is forever changed
when he treats a sexy night club singer after hours at his
downtown office. First becoming friends, the couple quickly
start an affair which eventually leads the previously
up-tight Talbot to fake his own death and run off with the
woman. Every move Talbot (played by Kent Smith who almost
tops his performance is the noir/horror classic Cat
People) makes following his decision to run off with
Nora just gets him in more trouble. Ann Sheridan playing
Nora isn't a femme fatale like you'd expect. Turns out she's
the level headed one who tries to stop Talbot from acting
like such a chump. Unfortunately, he doesn't listen to her
and becomes a mess eventually attacking romantic rival
Robert Alda in a drunken rage then leading cops on a high
speed chase that ends badly. Excerpt of review from Steve-O (Film Noir of the Week) located HERE |

Comments |
Warner Archive disc of Ann Sheridan-Vincent Sherman film noir Nora Prentiss fares well like the disc of their next collaboration, The Unfaithful. The transfer is a progressive and restored showing some chroma bug. There are still some scratches and other marks on the print (note a mark over Kent Smith's mouth in the fifth capture), but I didn't notice any cue marks. As usual for Warner Archive discs, we don't have any subtitles, but we do get a theatrical trailer. |
