Movie Reviews of Moontide (Fox Film Noir)
Movie Review: Who Killed Pop Kelly ?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting flop of a film.
This was French superstar Jean Gabin's American film debut. He made only one more film in America that was even less successful than this one before he returned to France for good in 1944.
Strange casting of Claude Rains, against type, doesn't fly.
I didn't buy the chemistry between Gabin and his co-star Ida Lupino. The story is dreamy, unrealistic and overly romaticized and it just doesn't gel.
Great lighting by Charles Clark creates all the right moods, but the total impact of the film is undermined with too many feel good concessions in the final frames.
