This 1941 noir surprises with its moody camera and light work, wickedly sharp dialogue and a menacing streak of dark humor.
The plot concerns the old "rags to riches" story, this time manufactured by our main suspect. When the beautiful blonde is murdered just as her star starts to rise, the police and audience must figure out who killed Vicky Lynn
One detail I loved was the use of the "somewhere over the rainbow" theme throughout the film. I don't see this one get talked of a lot, but it is a wonderful little Noir to kick off Noirvember.
