Framed - 1947 - 6/10

Paula spots him as soon as he enters the cafe.
Right height, weight, body size. The perfect double, the future patsy.
Paula, the blonde waitress, contacts her boyfriend, a banker, and they start the setup.

So-so Noir suffers from being underwritten, and half delivered.
Glenn Ford sleepwalks his role. To be fair, his character is nothing more than a once-mining engineer, now penniless drifter.
Barry Sullivan better as the cold and cynical banker.
Best is Janis Carter, who never climbed beyond B-roles.
Her Paula is an angelic faced fatale, her every single decision an opportunistic calculation.
