The Dark Past (1948) William Holden, Lee J. Cobb

Ratkaiseva yö (The Dark Past, 1948)

”Warning! This man has an irresistible impulse to kill!”

Elokuvateollisuuden arvostetuimpiin kuvaajiin kuulunut Rudolph Mate laajensi osaamistaan ohjauksen puolelle ja teki joukon genre-helmiä (KUOLLUT SAAPUESSAAN, UNION STATION, BRANDED, KUOLEMAN KUILU). THE DARK PAST pohtii miksi tappaja tappaa.

Brittijulkaisu ilman suomitekstejä, katsottavissa kaikilla Suomessa myytävillä Blu-ray laitteilla. Takakannen kertomaa:

William Holden (The Wild Bunch) and Lee J Cobb (The Garment Jungle, The Exorcist) lead the cast of The Dark Past, a psychological film noir thriller focusing on the art of criminal psychoanalysis.

Dr Collins, a police psychiatrist, is held hostage along with his family by escaped gang boss Al Walker and his accomplices. When Collins learns that Walker is plagued by nightmares, he begins to analyse his captor, and a battle of wills ensues...

Co-starring Nina Foch (Escape in the Fog), co-written by Marvin Wald (The Naked City), and directed by Rudolph Mate (D.O.A.), The Dark Past is a powerful tale of home invasion and hostages.
