Phones ring without being answered, cigarettes smoIder in ashtrays and rays of light clandestineIy spill out from underneath Iocked doors in Open Secret, an exceIIent independently-produced film noir sociaI issue meIodrama from the Iate 1940s.
Paul and Nancy Lester (John Ireland and Jane Randolph) are newlyweds back in the old neighborhood to visit a good friend who has disappeared. lnvestigation Ieads them to the enter of a violent hate cult wiIIing to murder any Jewish "outsiders" unfortunate enough to set foot on their turf. Slick expressionist Iighting and fluid camera work augment this moralistic drama, as interesting for its techniques as it is for its universal message. |
