Review of I Wake Up Screaming (1941) by Patryk C — 15 Sep 2012

A suspense story told in the most complex way. Until the end the viewer isn't sure who actually committed the murder of a beautiful and aspiring young model. A famous sports promoter is trying to prove his innocence, while romancing with a pretty sister of the dead girl, and having a brute and psychotic policeman on his back all the time.

Sombre and mysterious, I Wake Up Screaming is a very thrilling noir that is often omitted when talking about fine titles in the category. Great B-grade cast, moody cinematography and a fast-paced script that doesn't let the viewer loose his focus.
