directed by Eugene Forde
USA 1947
|
When a burned-out car with a body in it turns up in a ravine, the police potter around trying to find out first who was killed and then who killed him. There was a cop-killer the lawyer saved from a murder charge; his law partner who owned him big money; the district attorney who may have been seeing his restless younger wife; another temptress connected to both the partner and the cop-killer; and so on. In fact there are a few too many red herrings squeezed into this compact (66-minute) can. Excerpt of review from Bill McVicar for imdb.com located HERE |

20th Century Fox Cinema Archives made-on-demand service is hit and miss, mostly a miss. Their last batch of releases included a few film noirs and our comparison of Cry of the City declared their transfer a winner, so we were really looking forward to other titles released that month. Unfortunately, for another essential noir, Backlash, it's not such a good news. The film starts with a video-generated titles, not original title sequence from 1947. The transfer looks like it was from video days, with overblown whites and grayish blacks. There are plenty of marks and specs and some chroma is evident in the transfer. The mono audio has some problems as well with some hiss throughout the feature. There are no extras presented. A very disappointing release from Fox. |
