Synopsis:
A man charged with murder escapes from prison and takes refuge with an artist.
Impressions:
This is a pretty cool movie. I like how it sticks to a first-person cam for the early part of the film. Honestly, I would've preferred it if Parry was actually guilty, but I guess that wouldn't have gone over well with the Hays office. I have to admit that I found Lauren Bacall's character a little disconcerting, but it was a good effect. I mean, how else should you react to woman obsessed with a convicted murderer. There are some good twists and turns along the way and some rather effectively tense scenes. Agnes Moorehead and Clifton Young play a great pair of dirtbags. This one's definitely worth a watch.
