The Naked Edge (1961)

 

Five years after George Radcliffe was the chief witness in a high profile murder case, his wife receives a blackmailing letter accusing him of the crime. 

Psychological thriller has some good Noir cinematography, but its narrative is full of loopholes and unnecessary twists so that its suspense is limited.

Halliwell (no star): "Dreary thriller which piles up red herrings in shoals, then abandons them all for a razor-and-bathroom finale."

Maltin**1/2: "Uneven suspenser..."

Sergeant York (1941)

This is the movie for which Gary Cooper got his first Oscar and truly deserved, too. As a film Sergeant York is certainly a great work, but unfortunately it's quite dated with its straightforward patriotism. Basically this is a propaganda film intentioned to prepare the American audience for the involvement in WWII.
