Dramatic Film Noir
11 May 2000
A remake of Marcel Carnes French film Le Jour Se Leve, with excellent performancies, Henry Fonda is very good in the leading role and Vincent Price at his smarmiest. Barbara Bel Geddes makes a very good debut as movie actress. The director Anatole Litvak have done the film with great flair, it has a nice feel to it and is interesting and dramatic. I think this film is very underrated and should receive more attention than it does, Sol Politos camerawork is very interesting and give some scenes a claustrophobic feeling with his use of light and shadow. If you like atmospheric, dramatic noir dramas I can recommend this one.
