I wrote an essay on Sudden Fear, starring Joan Crawford, Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame, for the November Noir issue of Bright Wall/Dark Room. A noir/women’s picture from 1952, and a killer vehicle for the brilliant Joan Crawford, Sudden Fear is a moody and gorgeously shot film, with a couple of tour de force acting sequences for La Crawford. I was so happy to write up the film for Bright Wall/Dark Room. (I contributed an essay on His Girl Friday for their “journalism” issue.)
The essay is currently behind a subscriber wall (the magazine is subscription-based), but wanted to provide a link for those of you who subscribe (or would consider subscribing: it’s a great magazine!):
Venetian Blinds and Gleaming Silver Pistols.
Sometimes they excerpt some of their content for free, and I will give you all a heads up if that happens.
In the meantime: see Sudden Fear if you haven’t already! Trust me!
