Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumIf you're as much of a pushover for [Kim Novak's] early work as I am, you can't afford to miss this.
Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerMarked by a visual claustrophobia that nicely matches MacMurray's increasingly hemmed-in situation.
New York Times - 5/10 by Howard ThompsonViewed strictly on its own, as it should be, this modest Columbia melodrama is a creditable job for about half the time.
User Review - 8/10 by Russell G"Maybe I love them to much..." If anyone wants to know what a noir film is, you can't get more arch-typical then this one. Fred MacMurray is fantastic as the poor sap who loses control. Kim Novak plays an unwitting femme fatle that allows this film to have it's own nitch instead of feeling like a replay of other films. Great stuff.
User Review - 8/10 by Wayne S10 years after the fact, Fred MacMurray returns to familiar Double Indemnity territory: guy gets seduced into a committing the very crime he's supposed to investigate. But the similarities are actually rather slight, and this doesn't feel entirely like a rehash. Kim Novak is a more romantic, less femme fatale-ish character than Stanwyck, for one thing. There's a heavy voyeurism vibe going on that's very interesting. Richard Quine's direction is not terribly inventive, but it's solid, and the story is quite well-plotted with a lot of tension as MacMurray and Novak's scheme unravels. For the average joe this is probably a weak film, but for a noir fan it does the trick. The leads are both strong, with good supporting performances by E.G. Marshall, Dorothy Malone and Philip Carey. The photography is a little flat at times, but some scenes really shine, especially towards the end. Lousy music, though.
User Review - 6/10 by Nina LKim....and Dorothy Malone....mmmm....I loved the play with the shade in the photography. Quite dramatic.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel WPretty average noir about Fred MacMurray falling for a criminal's girlfriend (played by Kim Novak) as she is under surveillance. The story of his partner falling for the woman in the apartment below Kim's works better, and there's even a character who is waiting on his pension as he works the stakeout. Guess if he lives, and if he doesn't, guess who kills him. Everyone is good, but the story just isn't all that fantastic.
User Review - 6/10 by Benjamin MNice little crime/drama of the 50s with the stunning Kim Novak.
User Review - 6/10 by Art SNovack with no prior acting lessons does a stand out job.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CI like a good film noir. I was expecting that this one is a good choice. Directed by Richard Quine, it stars Fred MacMurray, Philip Carey, and Kim Novak in her breakthrough role. The screenplay was adapted from two novels, The Night Watch by Thomas Walsh and Rafferty by William S. Ballinger, and I'll say, wasn't developed enough, and characters remained just film types rather than real people we could relate. The story of the honest cop Paul Sheridan (Fred MacMurray) and him having a task to recover $200,000 after a bank robbery, most of the time worked well. I like how the little events, each of them relevant to the story, were incorporated while the police officers maintain a 24-hour surveillance on Lona McLane (Kim Novak), a girlfriend of one of the robbers. Of course, it's always something complicated in life, and here is that Sheridan quickly falls in love with Lona, who, when she finds out he's a policeman, tries to persuade him to kill Harry Wheeler (Paul Richards) so the two can take off with the cash... Film's plot is similar to other film noir, and some critics think that Double Indemnity is the movie to compare. Kim Novak was, at the time, a rising photogenic and acting star. For me, as a blond chick, she didn't do much - overacting was a huge problem and when Fred MacMurray grabs her for a kiss it didn't look romantic or full with passion - last time when I saw a kiss like that was when a Turkish free-style wrestling team member at the Balkan Championship kissed the official when awarded a gold medal. Not a pretty sight! This is not a great film, but it's immensely entertaining, covering a lot of territory in its 88 minutes.
