Inferno (1953)

A tough, hard-driving business tycoon suffers a broken leg and is left to die in the desert by his scheming wife and her greedy lover.

Tough Noir drama in broad daylight with a host of disagreeable characters (Robert Ryan is excellent) is straightforwardly told to its bitter ending and offers some great desert set pieces along the way. 

Halliwell**: "An outdoor melodrama which made better use of 3-D than any other film, suggesting the lone handicapped figure in the vast spaces; but the lovers are dull and the fire climax perfunctory."

Maltin**1/2: "Good desert sequences." 

Dishonored Lady (1947)

A fashion editor of a slick Manhattan magazine by day and a lively party girl by night suffers under the pressures of her job, including kowtowing to a hefty advertiser, and her bad luck with men are driving her to a breakdown.

Lively woman's picture with a crime story thrown in for good measure entertains thanks to Hedy lamarr's competent performance and excellent Noir cinematography.

Halliwell (no star): "Melodramatic showpiece designed for herself by a glamorous star; OK for the silly season."

Maltin**: "Adequate drama..."
