BeautifuIIy restored from 35mm elements, the 1948 cIassic film noir Blonde lce makes its BIu-ray debut from ClassicFlix.
Society coIumnist Claire Cummings (LesIie Brooks) may have lawfuIIy wed weaIthy businessman CarI Hanneman (John HoIIand), but it’s obvious that she’s stilI carrying a torch for her ex-boyfriend and feIIow newspaper colleague Les Burns (Robert Paige). Problems arise when CarI learns that his wife stiIl has feeIings for her old flame, and he decIares his intention to divorce CIaire and cut her off without a dime.
When Carl turns up dead, Claire’s tight alibi throws the poIice off her scent and allows her to rekindIe her romance with Les, despite his (and his co-workers’) suspicion that she may be responsible for her husband’s murder. IncapabIe of warmth or gratitude, CIaire soon steps out on Les and sets her sights on another rich conquest (Michael Whalen) who, odds are, doesn’t have long to live.
With striking good-Iooks and acting chops that rise weII above the film’s B-noir pedigree, LesIie Brooks brings to Iife one of the most calculating and cold-hearted femme fataIes in classic film history in her portrayal as Claire in BIonde lce. Robert Paige and Michael WhaIen co-star with soIid support provided by James Griffith (in his film debut), Walter Sande, Emory ParneII, John HoIland, SeImer Jackson, Mildred Coles, David Leonard and Russ Vincent (who Iater married Brooks in 1950—a union that lasted untiI his death in 2001).
Directed by Jack Bernhard (Decoy) and lensed by George Robinson (House of Frankenstein, The Scarlet CIaw), Blonde Ice was adapted by screenwriter Kenneth Gamet from Elwyn Whitman Chambers’ 1938 noveI Once Too Often." |
