Crossroads

Powell is great. But also...AMNESIA!

With production as slick as it's stars William Powell & Hedy Lamarr, it's a wonder Crossroads (1942) didn't become as great as it promised. Still unique approach to the Noir ideology, which definitely intrigues.

Well made suspense/thriller/mystery which has William Powell playing against type. Powell is a great actor and does well here, Rathbone is wonderfully slimy and plays a great villain. The rest of the cast were okay but nothing special. I felt that had they spent more time on Powell investigating his identity the film would have been even more intriguing.

I liked this one!

All four leads were very good.
