A meek novelist investigates the mysterious death of a notorious scoundrel.

Dir: Jean Negulesco Cast:  Sydney Greenstreet , Zachary Scott , Faye Emerson .
96 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Jean Negulesco. Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Zachary Scott, Faye Emerson, Victor Francen, George Tobias, Steve Geray, Eduardo Ciannelli, Florence Bates. Fine, offbeat melodrama with mild-mannered mystery writer Lorre reviewing life of notorious scoundrel Scott (in film debut). Frank Gruber adapted Eric Ambler's novel A Coffin for Dimitrios. As always, Lorre and Greenstreet make a marvelous team.

D: Sidney Gilliat. Alastair Sim, Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund John, Leo Genn, Judy Campbell, Megs Jenkins, George Woodbridge. Exciting whodunit set in a rural English emergency hospital during WW2. Tension neatly counterbalanced by droll wit of Sim as implacable Scotland Yard inspector; a must-see classic.

Postman Always Rings Twice, The (1946)

Illicit lovers plot to kill the woman's older husband.

Dir: Tay Garnett Cast:  Lana Turner , John Garfield , Cecil Kellaway .
113 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Tay Garnett. Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway, Hume Cronyn, Audrey Totter, Leon Ames, Alan Reed, Wally Cassell. Garfield and Turner ignite the screen in this bristling drama of lovers whose problems just begin when they do away with her husband (Kellaway). Despite complaints of changes in James M. Cain's original story (mostly for censorship purposes), the film packs a real punch and outshines the more explicit 1981 remake. Harry Ruskin and Niven Busch scripted (from Cain's novel). Filmed twice before, in France and Italy.

Strangers On A Train (1951)

A man's joking suggestion that he and a chance acquaintance trade murders turns deadly.

Dir: Alfred Hitchcock Cast:  Farley Granger , Ruth Roman , Robert Walker .
101 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Alfred Hitchcock. Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker, Leo G. Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock, Marion Lorne. Walker gives his finest performance as psychopath involved with tennis star Granger in "exchange murders." Lorne is unforgettable as doting mother; so is merry-go-round climax. First-class Hitchcock, based on a Patricia Highsmith novel and coscripted by Raymond Chandler. Remade as ONCE YOU KISS A STRANGER and the inspiration for THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN. British version of film, now available, runs almost two minutes longer, has a different ending and franker dialogue in the first scene where Granger and Walker meet.

96 min, TV-G , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Busby Berkeley. Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Charles Winninger, Guy Kibbee, June Preisser, Douglas McPhail. Rodgers and Hart's musical, minus most of their songs, and one that's left, "Where or When," is trammeled to death. What remains is energetic but standard putting-on-a-show vehicle for Mickey and Judy. Dated fun. Original ending, "My Day," was a production number spoofing Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, which was removed for a 1948 reissue and later restored. Also shown in computer-colored version.
