    Terrific

    Remade in 1987 as "No Way Out," the 1948 film "The Big Clock" is a wonderful suspense film starring Charles Laughton, Ray Milland, George MacCready, and Maureen O'Sullivan, directed by O'Sullivan's husband, John Farrow.

    Earl Janoth (Laughton), the owner of a publishing empire, is a quiet, enigmatic tyrant who loves clocks and has them all over his buildings throughout the country, including a big one in the lobby of his New York building. The clocks everywhere run together on naval observatory time.

    Janoth's right-hand man, Steve Hagen (MacCready) does his dirty work for him. When Janoth kills his mistress (Rita Johnson), Hagen cleans up the mess. Janoth is sure he saw someone in the hall when he arrived at his girlfriend's apartment, and feeling that the man can identify him, wants him found and eliminated. He orders his executives to get the man, telling them the person they want is involved in a war contract scheme. One man, George Stroud (Ray Milland), who is heading up the investigation, isn't fooled. He knows that he is the man Janoth is looking for -- and why.

    "The Big Clock" is a great cat and mouse story, with Stroud ducking people who saw him in various places with the mistress on the night she was killed. He also attempts to leave the building to find a cab driver when someone who can identify him is standing at the exit with security people.

    Milland does an excellent job of being both cool and panicky, and Laughton's underplaying makes the character of Janoth all the more deadly. Maureen O'Sullivan is delightful as the long-suffering Mrs. Stroud, who's never had a honeymoon because of her husband's work. Elsa Lanchester is hilarious as an artist whose painting figures into the story.

    My only complaint is that the ending is a tiny bit abrupt, though very amusing.

    A really wonderful film for suspense-lovers, Hitchcock-like, and highly entertaining.

    "The Big Clock" delivers BIG suspense

    I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I'm not sure I would categorize it a noir as much as I would a Mystery/suspense film. But whatever you call it, I call it a great way to spend 95 minutes. I can't recall a film that does a better job of building the suspense as this one. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire last half of the film.

    The film makes great use of irony to help achieve this - in that the lead character, George Stroud (Ray Milland), is called upon to search for a wanted man - who turns out to be himself. He is mistakenly believed to be the killer of his boss' mistress, when in reality, it is the boss, Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton), who is the guilty party. It is a classic cat and mouse game - except that instead of searching for the "Randolph" character, Stroud is actually trying to find the real killer so as to clear his own name.

    Stroud is literally surrounded on all sides by people who could identify him as the man who was with the murdered mistress on the night she was killed. He is running for his life within his own office building trying to avoid being identified. I love how the painting and the artist are used in the story. Elsa Lanchester was a true gem and quite a funny character. It's interesting to note that she was married to Charles Laughton. They certainly make an odd pair - especially in light of the fact of his known homosexuality.

    Another married couple from the film was actress Maureen O'Sullivan, who played Stroud's wife, and Director John Farrow. They were married for 27 years (until his death) and had 7 children together, including Mia Farrow. Maureen and Mia appeared together in HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (1986).

    Overall, a very good movie with a talented cast.

    Mia's Parents Deliver

    An interesting film noir. Milland is good as a Hitchcockian hero who finds himself framed for a murder. Laughton seems to be sleepwalking through his role as the actual murderer. Johnson, an attractive actress who had her career cut short by an accident and had a short and tragic life, plays the murder victim. Farrow (Mia's dad) is no Hitchcock but he directs efficiently and the cast includes O'Sullivan (Mia's mom) as Milland's nagging wife and Morgan as a menacing henchman. Lanchester (Laughton's real life wife) is hilarious as an eccentric artist. After a slow start, the pace picks up and suspense builds, not letting up until the credits roll.

    "Where are the green clocks of yesteryear?"

    Taut thriller about a crime magazine editor (Ray Milland) trying to stay one step ahead of being framed for murder by his tyrannical boss (Charles Laughton). Ray Milland is great but it's scenery-chewing Charles Laughton that is the most memorable part of this movie. George Macready plays Laughton's crony and partner-in-crime. Rita Johnson is fantastic as Laughton's mistress. Elsa Lanchester has a small but amusing part that she makes the most of. Harry Morgan appears in an early role as a "problem solver" for Laughton. This was Maureen O'Sullivan's first movie in five years and her first non-Tarzan movie in seven. Director John Farrow was also her husband at the time so I'm sure that had something to do with her returning to the screen.

    A tightly paced film with a great script. Fine direction from Farrow. It was remade in 1987 as No Way Out, which isn't a bad movie itself. Thankfully it isn't a direct copy but a reworking of the original story. Both the remake and this original have wonderful (and completely different) endings. This is definitely one you'll want to check out if you're a fan of film noir or thrillers from the '40s.

    Night of the hunter

    'The Big Clock' is exactly my kind of film, love crime, love thriller, love films with noir-ish qualities. The cast is an immensely talented one and the roles they're cast in sounded perfect for them. Hard to go wrong with Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, George Macready, Harry Morgan, Maureen O'Sullivan and Elsa Lanchester and 'The Big Clock' is the sort of film that would see all fitting beautifully within it. The story sounded so engrossing too and of course the positive reviews always help.

    A critical reception that 'The Big Clock' more than richly deserves. While not one of my favourite films or one of my favourites of the genre, and it falls short of masterpiece status, 'The Big Clock' is an excellent film in many respects. The acting and the atmosphere being two of the biggest pluses, and it delivers hugely on the entertainment value and suspense as well which means that it more than delivers on what is needed to make a film of this type work.

    It is a slow starter, well slightly, and not everything rings true in the plot.

    Such as with the body, the lead character's involvement with Rita Johnson's character and how quickly a few of the clues are found.

    Everything else is truly fabulous. Milland has the right amount of intensity and charm for a role that suits him so well and plays to his strengths, one of his best performances from this period. O'Sullivan is a strong presence as is Johnson, while Lanchester was seldom this hilarious. Likewise with Morgan being seldom this menacing. Best of all is a chillingly neurotic Laughton. Chills also come from the omnipresence of the clock. The characters are well written and some of them eccentric, notably Lanchester's. There is plenty to Milland's to allow us to care for what happens to him.

    Furthermore, 'The Big Clock' looks great. Especially the darkly noir-ish lighting and photography that not only suits the atmosphere perfectly it actually enhances it. John Farrow directs more than efficiency with a strong feel for momentum and atmosphere. The script is taut and intelligent, complete with some deliciously acerbic humour that gels with the vast amount of tension like fruity wine and cheese. The story is laden in suspense, is tightly paced and has clever turns. The ending is unexpected and has a lasting effect.

    Overall, excellent. 8/10.

      The novel on which this film is based was written by poet Kenneth Fearing, as revenge on publisher Henry Luce and his "Time" magazine. Fearing was obliged to work there (for financial reasons) for many years. The fearsome Earl Janoth is often regarded as a libelous parody of Luce, even though the book received a rave review from the "Time" critic, as did the film.

      When the Big Clock is first shown and the camera pans down to the lobby floor with the tour guide, it shows that there is a ledge directly underneath the clock which would make the display of its time impossible to see from the lobby.
