Mystery Street

Year: 1950

Grade: B+

Country: USA

Director: Sturges

Review

not sure about the title. follows in the footsteps of other docu-noirs like call northside 777 that have an emphasis on the science/method of crime-solving. in this way it will appeal to fans of csi and the like. overall it’s not as good as call northside 777 which i consider the definitive film of this sub-genre. also, instead of james stewart we have ricardo montalban in the lead. montalban is good here and in border incident, but he’s no jimmy stewart. also, 777 has great supporting actors like conte and lee j. cobb (one of my favorite character actors). nothing quite as good as film noir to get you out of a film watching slump.
