Movie Reviews

Urban Cinefile - 7/10 by Andrew L. UrbanThe story is strong and well told, building tension in the final act, delivering a satisfying payoff
User Review - 10/10 by Winn WClassic film noir. While it does include stereotypical moments of 'the damsel in distress', the cunning schemes of the assumed murderer make the movie interesting.
User Review - 8/10 by Esa LKlassinen noir-tyylin leffa, jossa yllättävää tekijä on, että vaikeuksissa olevaa päähenkilöä esittää usein femme fatalena synkistelevä Barbara Stanwyck.
User Review - 6/10 by Antonius BKind of a simlar plot to Rear Window odd considering they were both released in the same year. Stanwyck does a great job playing a woman holding on to knowing that she is not going mad and did see murder.

User Review - 6/10 by Allan CStarring great character actors; Barbara Stanwyck and George Sanders, shot by Roy Rowland (Our Vines Have Tender Grapes), I actually expected slightly more of this. Stanwyck plays an artist, Cheryl Draper, who, through her window, witness her neighbor, Albert Richter, killing a young woman. She calls the police, but they find nothing suspicious in his house that could testify that there has been a crime committed. So the result is that the police believes Cheryl is mad, and they won't take her seriously even after when she claims that Mr. Richter is persecuting her. Stanwyck is doing her usual "hysterically afraid woman, being persecuted by criminal, and the police don't believe her"-routine. She does it great. And I absolutely love seeing George Sanders playing a vicious Nazi, just as convincing as ever! But to put it short, this ain't nothing that we haven't seen before. I have to agree with critic, Dan Callahan, that it gives an impression that it was shot during a single weekend, or something like that. They certainly could have put some more effort into it! The plot reminds a lot of HItchcock's Rear Window, but keep in mind that this movie, actually came first! So DO watch The Mad Miss Manton or Rear Window, rather than this, and you won't be disappointed. I think Witness To Murder, today, is mainly for Stanwyck-fans.
User Review - 6/10 by Lady DA timeless plot that somehow reminded me of Hitchcock's Rear Window. Strangely when checking the dates for the films, they were both released in the same year (I wonder if one influenced the other and if so in which order). Very much in the style of a Hitchcock film, conspiracy, fear, cover ups..it has it all.
User Review - 6/10 by Citizen PFast paced little murder thriller enhanced very much by Barbara Stanwyck?s presence and a solid supporting cast. Fast pacing helps, the score is a little much at times. Good photography and screenplay.
User Review - 4/10 by Stephen E"Witness to Murder" is another one of those Barbara Stanwyck vehicles from the 50s that isn't inspired, well-made or worth anyone's time. Stanwyck does her usual overacting and is consistently shown up by George Sanders, who is cool and relaxed in his villainous role. The film feels hastily thrown together and incomplete, which stems from an unoriginal screenplay, dull direction and haphazard editing, and it just isn't good in any aspect.
