    Kane Richmond give extraordinary performance as bad guy

    "Stage Struck" is an excellent B crime story, with good script and great cast. It even attempts to provide a moral, especially to naïve young women. But it's in the very last words and I won't give it away here.

    On 25 January 2023, TCM took a break from being "woke" and PC -- meaning preachy and racist -- and presented several movies about night clubs and singers and gangsters. All were generally unknown and might not actually be considered "classics," but all were much better than might have been expected.

    This one has not only a good story, with many characters, all of whom have at least a moment to shine, but it has a cast of great talent if not a lot of fame.

    Kane Richmond is usually considered a hero of thrillers and serials so perhaps that's why his performance here is, to me, extraordinary. It shows, again, just how little justice there ever was in Hollywood, when actors with far less talent got more acclaim and money.

    I do recommend "Stage Struck."

    About what you'd expect from Monogram

    Monogram Pictures was a very prolific small studio that specialized in making B-movies. In general, their output was just fair...entertaining but also filled with cheaply made pictures with mostly second and third-tier actors. "Stage Struck" is pretty much average for the studio.

    A hostess in a night club is found murdered and the cops seem baffled and unable to solve the crime. So, the dead woman's sister, on her own, decides to get a job with the agency that places these hostesses in various clubs in the hope she'll be able to dig up incriminating evidence. Unfortunately, she isn't particularly bright and she nearly gets herself killed playing amateur cop.

    The acting in this one is purely adequate...and the story really lets you down near the end because the lady investigating seems a bit dim. She makes a lot of silly blunders and instead of being the smart, confident woman the film wants you to believe, she instead seems a bit dippy. A time-passer and nothing more.

    exciting, well-acted crime drama about missing young women

    Structured much like an exploitation film, but minus any sleaze

    or cynicism, this 1948 crime drama exposes the sordid world of "modeling agencies" set up to entrap and exploit lonely runaway young women from small towns who find themselves in the big city, waiting for some kind of "break" toward a career in modeling or acting. With a first-class supporting cast (Conrad Nagel, Evelyn Brent, Wanda McKay, Ralph "Dick Tracy" Byrd), the film pits Audrey Long--the sister of the young woman whose murder opens the film-- against the seedy yet suave Kane Richmond. Richmond, in one of his last roles before retiring from the screen and re-entering the business world, is best-known as leading man in many 1930s/1940s action films and serials, yet here he is the heavy, and he uses his personal charm to comfort then exploit the young women who are all to eager for a "break." Director William Nigh--whose last film this was and whose credits as director-writer-actor-producer date back to the mid-1910s--keeps the action moving at a brisk pace, but clearly worked with each actor to capture the right tone of performance, so that as "predictable" as the elements of the film may be to the genre-film fan, each character seems real. I first saw this film six or eight years ago and just watched it again, and it's just as solid and riveting as I remember it. Kane Richmond is especially memorable in a rare villain role, and the devoted fan of B-crime films of the 40s (this was a Monogram release) should search for a copy.

    Worthless

    Pitiful acting, a crashing bore. Skip this one. Kane Richmond wasn't what you could call first rate in the acting department, but he was handsome--in this one as in all his films. Poor Audrey Long never had a chance in Hollywood--she was just a nice girl, hardly Hollywood material. In fact Richmond was also a "nice guy"--very boring by Hollywood standards of the time. Anyway this picture is a flop--Richmond left movies after this and so did the director, and probably with relief.

    slow investigation

    Nightclub owner Benny Nordick is arguing with his hostess Helen Howard. They fight over his gun and he shots her dead. Petty criminal Nick Mantee offers to cover it up and dumps the body in the streets. Police Lt. Williams and Sgt. Tom Ramey starts the investigation by interviewing the family. Helen's sister Nancy gets involved. Meanwhile, Nick blackmails Benny over the murder.

    The investigation is too slow. The movie spends too much time with the family. Everything about the cops move at about half a step too slow. Even their walking is a slow mosey. The family is bland. Maybe they could streamline it to just Nancy. The movie slows to a crawl when the cops take over the narrative. Nick is the only truly interesting character. The criminals have some fun. It's the saving grace in an otherwise bland crime drama. The cops need to be more compelling.
