Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe pairing of Lorre and Greenstreet is always entertaining.
User Review - 8/10 by Patryk CA greatly intriguing mystery tale, strengthened by Sydney Greenstreet's and Peter Lorre's fantastic performances, as the sneaky couple of friends that want to outsmart an unfriendly Scotland Yard chief. It's undoubtedly a fascinating directorial debut of Don Siegel, marking his entry into the film noir genre. With a profound macabre touch and greatly distressing ambiance, The Verdict proves to show a somehow mind-bending case of a perfect murder, where the details are too vague and the suspect are too doubtful at some point. Apart from being a gripping picture, it's also a fine statement against circumstantial evidence and death sentence.
User Review - 8/10 by Orlok WPeter Lorre shines in brilliant Scotland Yard mystery--A triumph of the genre!!
User Review - 8/10 by Trent RSydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre star in this likable debut from director Don Siegel. It's available through the Warner Archive.
User Review - 6/10 by Brian BSydney Greenstreet is given a rare lead role in this fun locked room murder mystery that is also the directorial debut of Don Siegel who would go on the film the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Dirty Harry." The film is also the the last to pair Greenstreet with Peter Lorre. Siegel handles the budget production expertly, setting the action in fog and shadow. With some terrific actors, he conjures the kind of ripping yarn thatâ??s a pure pleasure to watch. Even the awful Cockney accents of the bit players add cheesy fun. Siegel uses expressionistic camera angles, careful lighting (witness the ghoulish delight that is the exhumation scene), and inventive model work (as in the opening shot) to conjure an elegantly bogus Victorian London that looks like the one you imagine when reading a Sherlock Holmes story.
