Doris Houck, Lloyd Corrigan, and Anita Louise in Shadowed (1946)

Review by adrianovasconcelos

Shadowed

7/10

B pic limitations partly overtaken by Sturges' budding talent, Johnson's performance

John Sturges' second directorial effort is better than its B programmer status might suggest. The script relies on quirky dialogue, especially between the male lead and his two daughters and it rates reasonably credible in spite of the occasional hole.

Cinematography by Henry Freulich is adequate if nothing to write home about, It is interesting that the film's initial quarter happens mostly in the open, in broad daylight, then, as Fred Johnson begins to experience difficulties, it grows darker, ending on a heavy chiaroscuro note.

The standout item is Lloyd Corrigan's performance, far more complex than one might suspect at the outset, as bumbles about a golf course. It carries a very broad spectrum of sensitive emotions, from comic to deep concern as he begins to realize that his younger daughter might be in peril. Real virtuoso display from Corrigam within the limitations of a B pic.

Another pleasant aspect is the stunningly elegant. Anita Louise. Sadly, she does not appear much on the screen and her performance is rather quiet.

Not a top notch B programmer, but certainly no waste of time.
