A Thief in the Dark, Stolen by a Thief in the Night… Time?

Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Nov 10, 2014

    A Thief in the Dark, a Fox Film Corp., mystery-circus-comedy-romance,[1] is another of that not too rare breed of “lost film (or “status unknown” at best),” and belongs to that ignominious sub-class of “late-silents-lost,” maybe better put: “out-of-sound, out-of-mind.” read more

Fear in the Night (1947, Maxwell Shane)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 16, 2014

Fear in the Night shows just how far something can get on the gimmick. Bank teller DeForest Kelley wakes up one morning from the dream he killed someone. He then discovers evidence of his crime and, as he suspects he’s going mad, starts going a little mad. If not totally mad, he does make some poor read more

Star in the Night (1945, Don Siegel)

The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 22, 2011

Star in the Night opens with cowboys, but it’s not a cowboy story. It’s a nativity told at a roadside motel. The dialogue for the cowboys is so bad, one has to wonder if they’re just cowboy impersonators and that detail got cut. The film proper begins when J. Carrol Naish meets up with angel-in-dis read more

A Shriek in the Night (1933, Albert Ray)

The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 22, 2010

For the first twenty minutes or so–it runs just over an hour–A Shriek in the Night seems like it might be a decent, b mystery. Ginger Rogers is appealing as the reporter undercover as a murder victim’s secretary and Purnell Pratt is great as the police inspector on the case. Unfor read more
