Good points and bad points of 'Where Danger Lives'


I really enjoyed this film, I am a massive fan of film noir, but I wasn't sure how to react to some aspects of this one. I loved the whole idea of Robert Mitchum's concussion,it really added another dimension to the getaway and relationship. I felt the twist was a bit predictable, but entertaining and worked well, and the fact that it wasn't lingered on as the big revelation at the end justified it. I felt it was a little short, but i guess this was standard length for these films at this time, possibly a B-movie? I wondered what this film wouldve been like had it been made today. Some aspects of it wouldnt work, obviously the romance, but in some ways the beauty is in its simplicity. There are some great scenes, good twists and a few surprises, especially when Mitchum is limping to the truck at the end, even though she didnt suffocate him anywhere near long enough to kill him. Overall, really enjoyable - what do the rest of you think?

Good movie. Mitchum, Domergue, and Rains are all excellent in their roles.
