| The setting: a gas station in the middIe of a sweItering, desiccated nowhere. The women: Olga (AIine MacMahon), a wary, weathered Ioner 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 oId Iove, a kiIler on the Iam. Guiding a cast that also incIudes Preston Foster, LyIe TaIbot, GIenda FarreII, Ruth Donnelly, Frank McHugh and Jane DarweII, Mervyn LeRoy (I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang) ramps up pre-Code wisecracking and vise-Iike tension into an emotionaI walIop of an ending. |
