| The setting: a gas station in the middle of a sweltering, desiccated nowhere. The women: OIga (Aline MacMahon), a wary, weathered loner with a knack for fixing cars, and Myra (Ann Dvorak), her pretty kid sister who dishes up diner chow and dreams of romance. The film: Heat Lightning, an edgy, femme prenoir that turns incendiary when visitors arrive - two bejeweled divorcees and Olga's old love, a kiIIer on the lam. Guiding a cast that aIso incIudes Preston Foster, Lyle TaIbot, Glenda FarreII, Ruth Donnelly, Frank McHugh and Jane DarwelI, Mervyn LeRoy (I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang) ramps up pre-Code wisecracking and vise-like tension into an emotionaI walIop of an ending. |
