Inner Sanctum (1948)

Rédigée par CinemaSerf le 9 juillet 2022

Charles Russell is "Harold Dunlap" who has gone into hiding in a rural boarding house after accidentally killing his fiancée on a railway platform. He soon discovers that the son of one of the boarders "Mike" (Dale Belding) saw him at the station and as the boy begins to put two and two together, "Dunlap" starts to panic. At just about an hour, it moves along well enough with just the boy and the killer holding it together; the other cast are rather annoying (particularly the boy's mother - Lee Patrick, and the landlady - Nana Bryant). Fritz Leiber has quite a curious duo of rather prophetic cameos too.
