User Review - 10/10 by gerardo rmy first exposure to film noir written by the master raymond chandler and the great cast this is awesome.
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin RBeautiful noir with outstanding plot and, of course, irresistible Veronica Lake.
User Review - 10/10 by Blake POne of the best film noirs. Smooth and slick.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul RA war vet named Johnny Morrison, played by Alan Ladd, returns home at the end of the war where expects a warm welcome from his wife. Hoping to surprise his wife, Helen, with his return he comes home to some kind of party his wife is throwing and notices while she walks a "friend" out the door where he notices them kiss and causes a bit of a ruckus. The guests all depart and the two have a bit of quarrel where Johnny takes out a gun but doesn't use it on her, though he believes he probably should, and throws the gun on to a chair and storms out. Later that night, she is murdered and Johnny winds up being the prime suspect. Johnny must prove his innocence and he enlists the aid of Joyce Haywood, played by Veronica Lake, the ex-wife of Helen's lover to help him find the culprit of the crime. The two end up falling in love while tracking down the killer. Two of his ex-service buddies, Buzz Wanchek and George Copeland played by William Bendix and Hugh Beaumont respectively, also come to Johnny's aid. The murder mystery is eventually solved by the end where all things are not what they seem. This film noir classic, directed by George Marshall, was Raymond Chandler's first, and only, original story written directly for the screen, one that would give him an Oscar nomination, his second nomination after sharing it with Billy Wilder for Double Indemnity. The film is filled with fast-paced dialogue and with Veronica Lake playing one of her signature roles as a femme fatale. Alan Ladd does a really well job as the protagonist who is wanted by the police. George Marshall does a really good job of directing especially with the pace of the film. While it isn't a classic in the same sense as other classic film noir of the '40s like Double Indemnity, it is still a pretty well written and acted film. A film worth watching if you're a big fan of film noir. 8/10
User Review - 8/10 by familiar s"Just don't get too complicated, Eddie. When a man gets too complicated, he's unhappy. And when he's unhappy, his luck runs out." ...wise :)
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VThe story of a man who must prove his innocence in a murder case. It's a story you've seen before, but this movie is enjoyable anyway.
User Review - 8/10 by Dave JThursday, June 30, 2011 (1946) The Blue Dehlia FILM NOIR Tough Alan Ladd returns home from serving his country with two other friends, only to find that his wife has been murdered. The young star of course, investigates with the help of a floozy, played by Veronica Lake! There's some snappy dialogue here and a superficial ending that didn't make much sense which appears to be forced, but because it was responding to war sensibilties, it was understandable why it ended the way it did! 3 out of 4
User Review - 8/10 by CorrinaBing BGreat example of film noir, wished I would have given this a look in ages ago.Veronica lake us memorising on screen , would recommend.
User Review - 8/10 by Johannes JJoyce Harwood: Well, don't you even say 'Good night'? Johnny Morrison: It's good-bye, and it's tough to say good-bye. Joyce Harwood: Why is it? You've never seen me before tonight. Johnny Morrison: Every guy's seen you before somewhere. The trick is to find you.
