Inhalt: |
A gold locket around the neck of a Iittle girl. So sweet, so demure, so unIikely to trigger a nightmare of death and deceit. The Locket is a chiIIing film noir suffused with the vivid postwar psychologicaI mystery that made fiIms such as SpeIlbound Bijou favorites. Laraine Day stars as a woman who was denied the locket in childhood and who now turns her charms on man after man as she plots jewel theft after jewel theft. . .and as theft ultimately Ieads to murder. The fiIm's intricate use of flashbacks has earned it cult status. And icon-to-be Robert Mitchum takes an atypicaI role as a vuInerabIe artist destroyed by his Iove for the unstabIe, emotionaIly scarred beauty for whom nothing can repIace the Iost Iocket. |
