Movie Reviews

Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. Puccio...the movie is different, and one can hardly say that Lady in the Lake is anything less than entertaining for most of its running time.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzChandler's story, which might be his finest, somehow comes through this gimmicky filmmaking experiment intact enough though much scathed.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 4/10 by Ken HankeFlawed but brilliant experiment by Montgomery using a subjective camera. Extraordinary musical track, too.
Filmcritic.com - 4/10 by Paul Brennercompletely misinterprets the joys of film noir
User Review - 10/10 by Yasumine MExcellent film noir that tries something completely new and succeeds tremendously. Montgomery was as gifted a director as he was an actor. Audrey Totter should have been more famous.
User Review - 10/10 by Grant SThis film is perhaps one of the most radical ever to come out of hollywood and should be part of the core curriculum for any film school or course in screen studies. The film is shot entirely from the point of view of Phillip Marlow whose face we never see. Every character looks almost directly at the camera just to the right or left of centre, The effect is most unnerving and entirely in keeping with the exquisite Raymond Chandler dialogue. It appears to have been a B movie, the only way the director would have gotten away with it. It is very hard for actors to play to directly to a camera as the convention of almost all narrative cinema is a recreation of the stage "proscenium" where the audience forms a virtual fourth wall. As such I can only pronounce all the performances of even the miinor characters to be excellent. Wait for the scene where Phillip Marlowe is punched in the face, its literally a knockout!
User Review - 10/10 by Joe SExactly what I look for in a thriller/detective film. It has plenty of infamous detective Philip Marlowe's biting wit, a dazzling femme fatale, a great plot with twists that threw me off, and an innovative filming technique. The entire film is shot in brilliant first-person, so that we feel like we're solving the case with Marlowe. We see and hear what he sees and hears. Evidence comes to us only when it comes to him. I had a lot of fun watching it and was incredibly impressed. Five star murder mystery. I highly recommend it!
User Review - 10/10 by Gavin SLove this movie!!! All great mystery novels are in first person narrative, well this movie was from that perspective, the only time you saw marlowe was when he would look in a mirror...best Chandler adaptation.
User Review - 10/10 by Elizabeth SIt's supossed to be one of the greatest film noirs of all time, and I can see why! Completely revolutionary for it's time and I loved it! I highly recommend it, though I kinda solved the murder as soon as the evidence presented itself.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael Gpretty good film with good performance by the lead actress. shot entirely in first person (except the narration interludes) and it actually comes across better than i expected.
