Review of Green for Danger (1946) by Trevor C — 27 Mar 2011

It's your basic "Clue" murder mystery thriller with masterful suspense, which is to be expected from most films like this, and is pretty common, but unlike most other thrillers from this era of film, the truth behind the mystery is most unexpected.

Up until the end there are only three characters that really seem built up to be the murderer, and yet, with excellent writing, the story's twist is surprising. The acting is fantastic and the camerawork at times succeeds in creating an uneasy feeling.

For fans of Hitchcock's films (this is a lot like something from Hitchcock, himself) or murder mysteries in general. It really succeeds in remaining intriguing, instead of degrading into something we've all seen before.
