(1942) The Glass Key.
FILM NOIR.
Based on well known film noir novelist Dashiell Hammett as well as a remake from a 1935 film which is also called the "Glass Key" starring George Raft, Claire Dodd, Edward Arnold! Story involves a friend/ associate Alan Ladd as Ed whose attached to an unlikable politician Brian Donlevy who's the most likely suspect to be involved in a murder. As usual, entertaining for people who like film noirs.
Footnote: This is 1 of three 'film noirs' actor Alan Ladd starred with actress Veronica Lake - the other two are "This Guns For Hire" also released during the same year of 1942 and then "The Blue Dahlia" made in 1946!
3 out of 4.
