Boomerang (1947)
Based on a real crime this film from director Elia Kazan stars Dana Andrews, Arthur Kennedy and Lee J. Cobb. Local politics complicate the search for the killer of a small town priest in Connecticut.
What this film does well is stick to the events in question and explain them clearly while retaining plenty of character in the piece. Filming at a number of locations where events took place in real life also helps add to the realism even if character names have been changed. Over all this is a good piece on both local politics and how they can interfere with the investigation of a crime.
4/5
