The Glass Tomb - 1955 - 5/10

Step right up! Look at Sapolio, the starving man!
Pel promotes sideshow artists, carnival acts, etc …
Newest gig, the man who won’t eat for the next seventy days.
Meantime, while all the carnies are partying, a murder is committed in the upstairs flat.
Dull story, lacks mystery, lacks tension, and the carnival world is not explored.
Lackadaisical commentary by Richard Roberts wanders and is misinformed, saying this was Ireland’s lone Noir.
(Check out Behind Green Lights and Railroaded (1946), along with Open Secret and Raw Deal.)
