    Chicago Deadline

    A reporter (Alan Ladd) discovers the body of a beautiful young girl (Donna Reed) in a cheap Chicago hotel, and in trying to retrace the events leading to her death becomes involved with the characters from her past life, all thanks to her diary ...

    The host of names of men in the diary seem to be frightened by her death but claim never to have known her. Adams comes to know quite a lot, dangerously so.

    Alan Ladd plays a fast talking reporter whose nose is sharp as his line delivery comebacks- he finds a diary of a dead woman and starts prying into her life, thanks to the names in her address book- Ranging from the rich to the crooked, the "names" are a bit nervous to talk about the dead lady.

    It's a fast-paced, suspenseful noir mystery that doesn't lose focus and keeps you watching. Not much action, but the plot, the dialogue, and the characters are sharp . Ladd puts in a good performance.

    Forgotten Noir

    Ace reporter Ed Adams (Alan Ladd) is at a skid row hotel on an assignment when a woman is found dead of natural causes in another room. Ed views the body and concludes that there is a story behind the death of this woman. Ed also pockets the woman's personal notebook of phone numbers. Her name had been Rosita Jean d'Ur (Donna Reed, seen in flashback) but anybody that Ed calls or sees to ask about Rosita, he is forcefully told by each that they never heard of her. What's up? Was she evil? Her brother (Arthur Kennedy) insists she wasn't. Was evil done to her? Ed needs to find. Getting thrown out of people's houses and beaten up by the local gangster's thugs only make him more determined. Also with June Havoc, Barry Kroeger, Shepherd Strudwick, and Dave Willock. The print I saw was pretty bad. The video probably came from a VHS recording off local TV. My first clue was when the logo for "KHGT TV 26 Honolulu" appeared for a few seconds in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. This is a little seen film but at the time was nominated for an Edgar Award as Best Motion Picture by the Mystery Writers Of America.

    Brooding quest for dead girl can't quite redeem its promise

    Reporter Alan Ladd stumbles across a strange woman, dead of tuberculosis in a seedy Southside hotel. Her address book, however, hints at a wild and well-connected past. (The girl, with the improbable moniker of Rosita Jean D'Ur, is played in flashback by the improbable Donna Reed.) Ladd's quest, as any noir quest should, takes him up and down the intricate layers of Chicago society, through some of which his tour guide is society dame June Havoc, who plays it with panache. This downfall of a good kid with some bad breaks begins to obsess Ladd, and Chicago Deadline (it's been remarked) could almost have been a grittier Laura set not in high society but on cusp where shabby respectability meets the demimonde. But the cunning Vera Caspary (who wrote the novel Laura) is alas nowhere in evidence, so Chicago Deadline becomes almost an object lesson in Edmund Wilson's dictum that the heavy atmospherics in detective fiction are rarely justified by the conclusion. Nonetheless, for most of its running time, Chicago Deadline is a dark and haunting ride.

    Good noir

    Shades of Laura here.

    A reporter, Ed Ames (Alan Ladd), looking into the death of a young woman, finds her address book before the police do. He goes through it and tries to uncover information about her. Her name is Rosita.

    Most people hang up on him or claim not to know Rosita. He does locate her brother (Arthur Kennedy) and a friend (June Havoc) and learns that Rosita was married and later widowed. Why are so many people afraid to admit they knew her? Why did she spend time living under another name? Intrigued and entranced by her photo, Ames keeps digging.

    Good noir with a solid performance by the handsome Ladd, who always underplays and lends a great presence to a film. Reed is lovely, though she actually doesn't have much to do.

    Dark, just like a noir should be.

    Excellent mystery story

    Alan Ladd does a good job as a Chicago newspaper reporter in this mystery tale of a beautiful young girl in her twenties whom he finds dead. He takes her address book and puts it in his pocket and then reports her death to the police. He is determined to find out about her. And that leads to dangers, murders, and plenty of complications. Ladd one by one contacts the people she knew to try to piece together what is going on, nearly getting killed several times in the process, and others are killed as well to stop them talking. He identifies her and meets her very sympathetic brother, played by Arthur Kennedy, but he cannot tell the whole story. We see flashbacks as different people tell Ladd parts of the tale, and in those the girl is played by Donna Reed with her usual sympathetic face and quiet manner. This excellent film noir is little known but deserves attention. It is a good'un.

      Tiffany Thayer's original novel was published in 1933 and was clearly inspired by the notorious Starr Faithfull case of the 1920s. Starr Faithfull (not her real name) was a beautiful girl found dead in the East River, seemingly a suicide. However, her address-book was found to be full of famous names and her diaries went unaccountably missing - rumors therefore abounded that she was a call-girl who had been blackmailing some of her clients and that she had been murdered.
