Without Honor (1949)



 

Jane Bandle has recently married, but Bill, her husband's brother, tries to wreck her marriage because Jane rejected his sexual advances before her marriage.

Well-cast and suspenseful film is staged as a one-room drama, so it relies very much on dialogue rather than action.

Maltin**: "Good cast talk endlessly..."

Phantom Lady (1944)

 
 
A beautiful secretary risks her life to try to find the elusive woman who may prove her boss didn't murder his selfish wife. 
 
Exemplary Film Noir crime mystery with a somewhat complex plot, but has great (nightly) settings, fabulous photography and a good cast. 

Halliwell**: "Odd little thriller which doesn't really hold together but is made for the most part with great style."

Maltin***1/2: "First-rate suspense yarn...Sexual innuendo with Cook is simply astonishing..."
