Title: Gritty realism in this film noir
Review: Rainy streets, late nights, and a shadowy, moody aura prevails in the film noir from the 1940s. If you enjoy this genre, this film will deliver for you. Ella Raines plays a secretary from Kansas in love with her boss, a New York civil engineer, played by Alan Curtis. When he is falsely accused of murdering his wife, she sets out with determination to clear his name.Throughout the film we are given hints as to who is the real murderer. We follow Raines as she reconstructs the activities of the fateful night and encounters characters who deny seeing a woman with Curtis. This witness could provide an alibi.The twists and turns of the plot will keep you interested, as Raines unravels the mystery to find a happy ending. Recommended as a fine example of film noir.
