Hangover Square (1944)
Country: US
Technical: bw 77m
Director: John Brahm
Cast: Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, George Sanders
Synopsis:
An obsession with a music hall dancer does nothing at all for a composer's state of mind, especially when he is already subject to memory blackouts.
Review:
Hugely entertaining nonsense, with outstanding technical credits at the service of a secondhand plot. Now its very tackiness and lack of realism are its charm. Herrmann composed an entire Lisztian piano concerto movement, most of which goes unheard as the concert hall conflagration takes hold.
