Subject: Phantom Lady (1944)

Scott Henderson (Alan Curtis) picks up a mystery woman in a bar and takes her to a show. He returns home to find his wife has been strangled and the police waiting for him. He needs an alibi, but no one can seem to remember seeing the mysterious woman he was with that night, despite the distinctive hat she was wearing.

A good, suspenseful film noir set in New York City, taken from the novel of the same name by William Irish (a pen name for Cornell Woolrich). The director is Robert Siodmak.

The best known star in the film is Franchot Tone, and Ella Raines does a nice job as the leading lady (but not the Phantom Lady). There are plenty of notable character actors to watch for as well. Thomas Gomez is a police inspector and Elisha Cook Jr is a seedy musician. Jay Novello and Beatrice Roberts (Queen Azura from Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars) each have small roles. Milburn Stone and Samuel S. Hinds are not seen, but their voices are heard.
