Späte Sühne (1947)

Späte Sühne: Directed by John Cromwell. With Humphrey Bogart, Lizabeth Scott, Morris Carnovsky, Charles Cane. A soldier runs away rather than receive the Medal of Honor, so his buddy gets permission to investigate, and love and death soon follow.

“This mediocre film noir, involving the usual tangle of murder and deceit, is notable mainly for Bogartu0026#39;s presence. Heu0026#39;s an army captain who sets out to solve the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of a buddy. Thereu0026#39;s the usual quotient of danger and deceit and, of course, a femme fatale, well played by Lizabeth Scott who seems to have been born for this kind of part. Many of the plot points are either hard to follow or hard to swallow, and itu0026#39;s all much too talky, but it does have a memorable closing line! Worth seeing for genre buffs.”
