Gripping start and end, slight lull in the middle
"I Dimma Dold" aka "Hidden In The Fog" (1953) begins as a Hitchcockian thriller, develops into a "Laura" variation (it even name-drops the 1944 classic), and concludes as a traditional whodunit. Vic Suneson' script is clever, with a big twist in the middle, plus a smart final clue that points to the only possible murderer, Lars-Eric Kjellgren's direction is impeccably noirish, and the acting is good across the board, especially by Eva Henning and Georg Rydeberg. The film is more gripping during its first half and the prolonged finale; in the middle, it loses its momentum a little. **1/2 out of 4.
