Dead Reckoning (Blu-ray + DVD + Slipcover, 1947, Region B, French Import)

Description: Dead Reckoning doesn't always make a lot of narrative sense. The same goes for a number of classic noirs including Bogart's previous picture, The Big Sleep (1946) but as the New York Times diplomatically observed, "there are a lot of things about the script... that an attentive spectator might find disconcerting." Scrambled storytelling isn't the only typical noir element in Dead Reckoning. Also present are the returning-veteran hero, the enigmatic heroine, multiple plot twists, and wisecrack-heavy dialogue, all woven into a story with a flashback structure and constant voiceovers by Rip that sometimes obscure more than they clarify. To his credit, Cromwell makes the convoluted tale reasonably coherent and occasionally quite surprising... he had all the necessary skills to bring a quintessentially noir style to a quintessentially noir project.
