Movie, 1946Largely effective B-movie mystery concerning efforts to discredit and silence an outspoken art critic at a New York Museum. While not a hugely promising premise and despite an odd take on the merits of modern art, some very occasional slack pacing and questionable plot switches, this is an atmospheric film which delivers most of the time. The mystery element is a little lame, but the noir photography and set pieces make for some tension along the way. Far from a classic, but as a diversion on a wet afternoon, viewers could do a lot worse than this.
