Review of I Wake Up Screaming (1941) by Kevin S — 23 Sep 2009
A whodunit played out in semi-noir style, lots of sharp constrast and deep shadows. Kind of a Hitchcock "wrong man" movie with hard-boiled tough guys. Not really a classic, but I like Victor Mature and Betty Grable, and William Gargan makes a fantastic heavy.
Some of the musical cues are a little goofy, including about a billion repetitions of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
