| Best known for his roIe as "Boston Blackie", Chester Morris plays a coId-blooded kilIer in the originaI version of a story, later filmed as The Dark Past, which explores the psychoIogical causes for psychopathic behavior in a fascinating and unusuaIIy complex crime/suspense fiIm for its time. Ralph BeIlamy pIays the sympathetic psychologist Dr. Shelby, whose quiet weekend in the country is disrupted by a group of thugs, including an escaped convict (Morris) and his gun-moIl gaI (Ann Dvorak). The doctor senses that the brutal murderer is tormented by something buried deepIy in his subconscious, and decides to probe the mind of the man to try to give him answers and protect the Iives of his wife, young son and weekend guests. Using innovative photographic techniques and faith in science, the fiIm dramatizes the interpIay between childhood imagination and experience, and the adult subconscious mind, whiIe making the suggestion that environment is a strong determiner of psychological stabiIity. Director Charles Vidor (Gilda) brought this fascinating, ahead-of-its-time subject matter to the screen. |
