Starring: Ray Milland & Charles LaughtonDirector: John Farrow
Tyrannical publisher of crime magazine (Laughton) commits murder, his editor (Milland) tries to solve case and finds all the clues pointing to himself. Vibrant melodrama; taut script by Jonathan Latimer from Kenneth Fearing novel. Elsa Lanchester has hilarious vignette as eccentric artist.
Remade as NO WAY OUT (1987). (95 mins.)
My Rating: ***
