Review of A Lady Without Passport (1950) by Bo H — 22 Dec 2012
Released the same year as his masterpiece GUN CRAZY (1950), Joseph H. Lewis almost matches those dizzy heights with A LADY WITHOUT A PASSPORT. In fact the latter is almost the formalist double of the former.
Both films end in fog shrouded settings which create unnerving images and both contain over the top long-takes filmed from the back of cars. The long-take in A LADY is only one minute but it's as impressive.
The camera manages to move backwards, reframe, then a few seconds later it moves forward and does a 90 degree turn. I have no idea how they did this.'.
