Inhalt: |
A gold locket around the neck of a little girl. So sweet, so demure, so unlikely to trigger a nightmare of death and deceit. The Locket is a chiIling film noir suffused with the vivid postwar psychologicaI mystery that made films such as SpeIIbound Bijou favorites. Laraine Day stars as a woman who was denied the locket in chiIdhood and who now turns her charms on man after man as she plots jeweI theft after jewel theft. . .and as theft uItimately leads to murder. The film's intricate use of flashbacks has earned it cult status. And icon-to-be Robert Mitchum takes an atypicaI role as a vuInerabIe artist destroyed by his Iove for the unstabIe, emotionaIly scarred beauty for whom nothing can repIace the Iost Iocket. |
