Quite good production quality, but this detective story

Quite good production quality, but this detective story was by-the-numbers and didn't reach any great heights. The characters didn't have much depth. The ending was a little disappointing. But still okay.

Looks Wonderful, But . . .

I stumbled upon Accused of Murder and for some reason was drawn to give it a viewing. It was apparently filmed in Naturama, of which I have know idea what exactly that was/is. I will say though that I think for most part the filmed looked beautiful: the set design and props are all really great and are a character unto themselves. Sure, there was a bit of overlighting throughout, but that didn't diminish my appreciation of the remaining visuals. As for the story and performances those are where Accused of Murder suffers. The story just didn't really amount to that much and it never really gained enough traction to create any drama or tension. The acting was spotty as well, with a couple solid performances (Peebles) but overall disappointing.

Surprise !

This is much better than I had any reason to believe it might be.It is almost a noir, but, aside from Virginia Grey, must of the cast don't really register very well.A supporting turn by Lee Van Cleve, among others (David Brian, Sidney Blackmer, etc.) keep the movie moving along.And there is Vera Ralston, singing ersatz cafe songs, and the glory of TruColor.Still, why Eddie Muller hasn't championed the movie is beyond me, as he has justified far worse.For some reason, I stumbled across the movie on The Criterion Channel, which keeps surprising me, as one of the best movie streaming services available.
