The Dark Corner (1946)




Secretary tries to help her boss, who is framed for a murder.

Slow-paced Noir story with some great atmospheric photography and overall good performances, but the unwavering female lead outshines the otherwise dark plot.

Halliwell *: "Moody, brutish, well-made thriller with a plot put together from bits and pieces of older, better movies, notably Clifton Webb's reprise of his Laura performance and William Bendix ditto The Glass Key."

A Guide for the Married Man (1967)


A man gives his co-worker a series of lessons on how to cheat on one's wife without being caught.

Unfunny and dated sex farce from a director who usually did better work.
