The Great Flamarion (1945)

Excellent Film Noir


WOW - this film is nothing like I imagined it to be. I've been watching some "dark crime" films lately and quite a number of them have 'cutesy' or somewhat comical moments in them - they are lightweight. This film is not like that - this one really is "dark crime" film -- and a damned good one! I'm pleasantly surprised.

The acting in this film is extraordinary - a long ways from being cheesy. The story is good - heartbreaking. My heart bleeds for Flamarion what happened to him was sad, and talk about a cool character!

This is a very serious crime drama in-spite of it being centered around  the vaudeville circuit and 4 of it's members: Flamarion, Connie, Al, and Eddie.

Definitely a recommended film.

9/10
