The File on Thelma Jordon (1949)
Country: US
Technical: bw 100m
Director: Robert Siodmak
Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Wendell Corey
Synopsis:
An assistant D.A. is drawn into helping a seductive woman who thinks someone is trying to burgle her aunt's house.
Review:
If ever anyone was meant to be a fall guy it was Corey, though he was often cast as an unimaginative sceptic. However, there was something desperate and tracked about those eyes, and he is introduced to us with a drinking problem and marriage troubles... Say no more. If, like this viewer, however, you can never understand why anyone would fall for Stanwyck in full shoulder pads, then you may still have issues with this picture.
