albert 22nd Apr 2018		Review This film is often pigeon-holed as a film noir due to it's moody atmospheric lighting and sets, but it is actually more of a reasonable murder mystery. The film gets off to a good start with an inspired flip to the well-trodden amnesia plot; here we see the murder suspect accompanied by a mysterious lady out on the town on the actual night, and the next day he can recall his steps in exact detail to the police, but all of his many witnesses deny seeing him and his companion, leaving him no alibi but for the mysterious lady who has since vanished without a trace. After his court case he ends up waiting on death row leaving his secretary to do the detective work aided by the police inspector at the end of the phone. The ending is also good with a suspenseful 20 minutes worthy of Hitchcock, but alas the enjoyment is somewhat tempered by a huge plot hole - which is the second murder (think about it) - Now if this was a Hitchcock film I am sure the master would have changed things around to keep the secretary oblivious to the fact and hence in constant danger while the police race to close the net on the real killer. So a reasonable murder mystery let down by a sloppy mistake in the plot. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
