Moviestv channel called BLACK WIDOW a noir, but I think it has wider audience appeal. I finally watched it today after recording it ages ago.
Van Heflin gets himself suspected of murder and tries to prove his innocence. Gets to show his ability to be befuddled at moments and indignant anger.
Gene Tierney doesn't get much to work with here. Her part is small as wife of Van convinced of innocence, then doubt, then convinced of his innocence.
Ginger Rogers gets a great part. What a witch, what manipulation, what entitledness, what selfish nastiness-great to see after all her goody-two-shoes parts.
Reginald Owen the kept husband of Broadway star Ginger, resigned to being a nobody with a touch of class.
Peggy Ann Gardiner delicious as the young girl who gives Ginger a run for her money as scheming amoral witch.
George Raft as the detective assigned to the murder case. I liked him in the role, would like to have seen more of him as the relentless cop.
Otto Krueger-a fave character actor plays a barely surviving actor after all those years.
How to tell you the plot without telling too much. I believe the less you know before you see it the better the experience.
Who was Peggy's lover? and who killed her?
Give it a chance, not one of the greatest films, but I haven't erased the film. I'll watch it again to see these actors pull off Nunnally Johnson's script
