Review of Detective Story (1951) by Conner R — 21 Jul 2010

Truly a performance based movie that really shouldn't be treated as anything else. While it lacks powerful direction and style, I don't think there was ever any intent to have either of those. You stay involved for the larger than life performance from Kirk Douglas as the most black and white cop to ever roam the streets of New York.

You can clearly see this is better suited as a play and didn't necessarily need to make the jump to screen, but I'm pleased anyway.
