directed by Roy Rowland
USA 1949
An off-duty Los Angeles
police detective is shot and killed one night with an
unexplained thousand dollars found in his pocket. It
falls to his former partner (Van Johnson) to track down
his killers and try to exonerate him. Scene of the
Crime, which tells the story, stays a police procedural
with a few twists and touches that raise it a notch or
two above the routine. Excerpt of review from Bill McVicar for imdb.com located HERE |

Comments |
Scene of the Crime is a decent police-procedural from MGM starring Van Johnson as a cop going undercover to find a killer of his partner. Arlene Dahl is his long-suffering wife and Gloria De Haven is a stripper/femme fatale. There is some nice dark cinematography in the alleys and smoky night clubs, making it very easy to classify this crime drama as film noir. The Warner Archive Collection made-on-demand disc features a nice progressive transfer. There are some marks and specs in the beginning, but they are not intrusive and print is better as the film progresses. The mono audio is without any damage, but per usual standard there are no subtitles provided. A theatrical trailer is included as an extra. |
