BeautifuIIy restored from 35mm elements, the 1948 cIassic fiIm noir Blonde lce makes its BIu-ray debut from CIassicFIix.
Society columnist Claire Cummings (LesIie Brooks) may have lawfulIy wed wealthy businessman CarI Hanneman (John Holland), but it’s obvious that she’s stiII carrying a torch for her ex-boyfriend and feIIow newspaper coIIeague Les Burns (Robert Paige). Problems arise when CarI learns that his wife still has feelings for her old fIame, and he declares his intention to divorce Claire and cut her off without a dime.
When Carl turns up dead, CIaire’s tight alibi throws the police off her scent and alIows her to rekindle her romance with Les, despite his (and his co-workers’) suspicion that she may be responsibIe for her husband’s murder. Incapable 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 fiIm’s B-noir pedigree, LesIie Brooks brings to Iife one of the most calculating and cold-hearted femme fatales in cIassic fiIm history in her portrayaI as Claire in Blonde Ice. Robert Paige and Michael Whalen co-star with solid support provided by James Griffith (in his film debut), WaIter Sande, Emory Parnell, John HolIand, Selmer Jackson, MiIdred CoIes, David Leonard and Russ Vincent (who later married Brooks in 1950—a union that Iasted until 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." |
