directed by André De Toth
USA 1949
Will Slattery is a
hotshot fighter pilot reduced to inactive duty for
defying orders in a crucial battle and recklessly
engaging in a solo aerial dogfight. The stunt did
help secure victory, and the brass has delayed a
decision on whether he deserves the Medal of Honor .
. . or a court-martial. In the meantime he’s taken a
job piloting cargo flights in the Caribbean for a
Miami-based “candy manufacturer,” a job arranged by
his loyal girlfriend, Dolores (Veronica Lake). Excerpt of review from Eddie Muller for Film Noir of the Week located HERE |

Slattery's Hurricane makes its official home video debut as part of 20th Century Fox's new made-on-demand collection "20th Century Fox Cinema Archives". Unfortunately, Fox utilized an old transfer transfer that did not go through any restoration or remastering. The image is soft in some scenes and there is some chroma evident (see around Ms. Lake's dress in capture #5), but more noticeable are some unusual horizontal lines throughout the film that we can only assume are a function of the source material. The mono soundtrack is decent, but unfortunately there are no extras. A fine film that deserves re-discovery is unfortunately gets a sub-par presentation from Fox. |
