Title: Fritz Lang and Dana Andrews
Product review: I think Dana Andrews is one of the truly great actors in American Cinema, the one who, together with Robert Mitchum defines what film noir really is, when it comes to acting.Fritz Lang is, by all means, a great director, but also a man of great pretentions, which leads him towards stories with rather "important issues" - as is the case with "Beyond a reasonable doubt". The result is, as often, that the "noir" qualites get sort of lost in this quite laboured drama, depending much too much on its surprise ending. But watching Dana Andrews at work is always such a great pleasure, that it makes the film quite worthwhile, anyway, anyhow!
