Dead in the water

 

Dead Reckoning (1947)


Directed by John Cromwell this film stars Humphrey Bogard, Lizabeth Scott, Morris Carnovsky and William Prince. A paratrooper investigates the disappearance and death of one of his comrades.


As film noir go this is a very middle of the road one that does nothing new or particularly interesting. The plot just about fills the 90 minute run time without outstaying its welcome. What the film really needs is Lauren Becall instead of her knock off, Lizabeth Scott.


3/5
