135: Call It A Noirlodrama
from Lions, Towers & Shields Hosted by The Incomparable
The son of a man convicted of murder faces bullying, then suspicion when he is accused of a crime, too. Directed by Frank Borzage, the film is moody, dark and a bit gothic. Dane Clark and Gail Russell are your leads, with a late-film appearance by Ethel Barrymore. And you’ll hate young Lloyd Bridges. Noir czar Eddie Muller calls Borzage ‘relentlessly romantic,” which is a huge contrast to this film, which Muller ranks it among his top 25 noir films. Host Shelly Brisbin with Randy Dotinga, Nathan Alderman, and Micheline Maynard.
