(NOIR) Night Editor - 1946 ****



I actually enjoyed this noir, despite the fact it was a 'B' movie (going to show yet again that not all 'A' movies are the best.

The movie tells of a police lieutenant named Tony who starts an affair with a beautiful socialite (Janis Carter) behind his wife's back (ironically she is also cheating on her husband). One night they go for a drive to 'lovers lane' to be alone and are startled to see a a man bludgeoning his girlfriend to death. Because of their current situation they cannot report the crime without revealing their affair, and so begins a nerve-wracking journey where the main witness to the crime cannot help solve it without giving himself away.

A very interesting story and very taut and gripping. I liked.
