Boomerang (1947)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 17, 2018

Boomerang shares some similarities to Call Northside 777 and Panic in the Streets. Like the latter Elia Kazan film, this one boasts a surprising amount of real-world authenticity and a loaded cast of talent.

Boomerang! (1947, Elia Kazan)

The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 1, 2013

Boomerang! is a mess. The first half of the film is a misfired docudrama, the second half (or so) is a fantastic courtroom drama. Richard Murphy’s script is such a plotting disaster not even beautifully written scenes and wonderful performances can make up for its problems. And director Kazan read more
