THE CHASE (1946, United Artists) Robert Cummings, Peter Lorre, Steve Cochran, Michele Morgan, Jack Holt, Lloyd Corrigan. A minor film classic! Intriguing story of an ex-G.I. who, by the simple act of returning a lost wallet, finds himself mixed up with hardened criminals. Cochran and Lorre give terrific low-key performances as a couple of overdressed psychos. The horrific scene with Lloyd Corrigan will give you pause the next time you're invited down into a wine cellar! An absolutely incredible music score (much in the vein of Rachmaninoff) compliments a terrific story, which features one of the best twists of any film noir movie you'll ever see. The final car/train sequence is incredible! From a beautiful 35mm print.
SHOCK (1946, Fox) Vincent Price, Lynn Bari, Frank Latimore, Anabel Shaw, Reed Hadley. A woman goes into catatonic shock after seeing a brutal murder. When she comes to, she discovers her doctor is the killer! Price is excellent as the suave medical maniac. Lots of taut moments to keep you on the edge of your seat. A solid, underrated film noir gem with a nice touch of psychological horror. From a gorgeous 35mm print.
