Review of Lady in the Lake (1946) by Joe S — 23 May 2012
Exactly what I look for in a thriller/detective film. It has plenty of infamous detective Philip Marlowe's biting wit, a dazzling femme fatale, a great plot with twists that threw me off, and an innovative filming technique.
The entire film is shot in brilliant first-person, so that we feel like we're solving the case with Marlowe. We see and hear what he sees and hears. Evidence comes to us only when it comes to him.
I had a lot of fun watching it and was incredibly impressed. Five star murder mystery. I highly recommend it!
