The Dark Past - 1948 - 6/10
Bust outta prison, check! Break roadblocks and get away, check! Head to the shack on the beach.
Wait, check that. We’ll hole up at that house owned by the college professor and his friends.
Cops will never suspect where we are.
Only thing, that professor is a doctor of psychology, and he starts digging into gang boss’s neuroses.
Marked as Noir, this is a psychological thriller, with some “moments” here and there.
Mostly, however, this bores.
William Holden makes a smoldering villain, if hammy at times.
