Dorothy B. Hughes and The Fallen Sparrow. I just saw the
movie, and was disappointed. John Garfield seems to be
sleepwalking through the role, even when he's doing some "are
those footsteps?!! I hear footsteps!!!" number. Walter Slezak
is around, and always worth watching, but even marvelous
Maureen O'Hara can't liven this one up. It's not quite a "B,"
down on the level of the Michael Shayne pics coming out
around this time, but it's a potboiler, and I wouldn't call
this a notable noir.
