In Reply to: "Murder, My Sweet:" film noir w/very good writing, unusual casting, and posted by tinear on February 1, 2014 at 11:05:40:
Otto Kruger played the urban phony psychic to perfection. Mike Mazurki played Moose, the love sick jilted lover, with gorilla like strength, also to perfection. The best scene in the movie is sanitarium scene where Powell tries to pull himself out of a drug induced delirium. Pretty racey stuff for the time. It's right up there with Hawks' "The Big Sleep.

- Good points. Mike indeed was fantastic, sensitive yet a brute, a human King Kong. nt - tinear 11:31:58 02/03/14 (0)
