Danger Signal (1945)
4/10
Pedestrian, Predictable, Terrible Ending

Warning: Spoilers
I don't feel like writing a whole review on this, but I can't believe the high rating this worse-than-average movie gets here.

It just unfolds. There are no plot twists, nothing the least bit unpredictable. Until the end, that is, I guess.

Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, some guy shows up and chases the anti-hero. I had no idea who he was. I had to go back and replay the movie from the beginning and found that he last appeared 14 minutes into the film, almost 75 minutes before his sudden, unannounced, unexplained reappearance. I had completely forgotten his existence by then!

Then the guy falls a whole 10 feet to his death! And all this happens in like 2 minutes with no development whatsoever! I was going to give this a 5/10 before the ending came along.

END SPOILERS

The only thing that makes this movie worth watching is Faye Emerson. She is not bad looking, although a bit odd, and her acting is excellent!
