Key Witness - 1947 - 5/10
Embarrassing B-film, grouped with Noir, but is more a feeble attempt.
Milton is a draftsman for an architectural firm.
Spare time, he invents novelties. Mostly, though he is a weak willed doormat
While Milton’s wife is away, his buddy drags him to the horse races then brings girls to his home!
Of course Milton, who still sleeps in twin beds with the missus, doesn’t know which end of the female is which, and he falls asleep in his bed. While his date gets herself murdered.
From here, the plot gets increasingly inane.
For a Columbia film, this looks extremely cheap. The photography, the sets, shoot, the clothes don’t fit!
And the script is nonsense, waddling from one idea to another like a drunken goose.
