Review: Outside The Wall (1950)

Image
Even though it was released in 1950, Outside the Wall  feels like it has a foot in the crime pictures of the 1930s. The film opens on the Cherry Hill prison in Philadelphia where we meet Larry Nelson (Richard Basehart), a man who is about to be paroled after doing a 15-year sentence for murder. We find out more about his crime later in the movie, but the film is more interested in showing us how he's been jailed for so long that he has trouble adapting to a world he no longer recognizes. He ends up working in a sanatorium that's far from the city, but it's not so far away that trouble doesn't arrive in the form of a gangster from his past with a tempting offer that could lead him back to the wrong side of the law. Complicating matters further are two women--a proverbial devil (a materialistic blonde played by Marilyn Maxwell) and angel (virtuous, kindhearted brunette Dorothy Hart)--who pull him in two very different directions.  While this does feel heavily influenced b

Review: Undertow (1949)

Image
This cracking little noir film is directed by schlockmeister William Castle, but there are no gimmicks here. Instead, we have a pure and simple noir plot involving a returning military man who happens to be the perfect patsy for a frame-up job. Character actors will enjoy seeing Scott Brady ( Johnny Guitar,  later the sheriff in Gremlins ), Dorothy Hart (1948's The Naked City ), Peggy Dow (soon to appear in Joseph Pevney's exceptional noir Shakedown ), John Russell ( Pale Rider , The Outlaw Josey Wales ), and even a fresh-faced Rock Hudson in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role. The action takes place in Chicago, though rear projection and studio sets occasionally fill in for expensive location shooting. At a brisk 71 minutes, this one flies by and unfolds in something close to real time.  Universal International cranked out scores of these cheap noir and noir-adjacent B-films during the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. Some are more memorable than others, but all of them e
