MIDNIGHT MANHUNT(1945)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


This probably was a pretty good movie! The
issues of it being too dark to see anything
going on for minutes at a time makes it not
enjoyable to watch! The basic story is about
a man getting killed and the body winding up
moving from one place to the other! One that's
just ok! Coulda been so much more fun!! C

A review from IMDb.com:

This movie has all of the charm that makes
old movies fun. Tough newspaper reporters
compete with one another as they deal with
a murdering villain and an arrogant police
detective. I cannot recall seeing Ann Savage
in anything else, but right away I liked her.
She had the look and presence that should
have made her a bigger star. Although she
gets second billing in the credits, I think
she is the star that really pushes the plot
the most. Leo Gorcey adds a fun comedy
element that keeps the movie bouncing
along. The action starts at the very
beginning and keeps building until the
end. All the events take place in one
night as the different characters are
involved with finding, moving, hiding,
and searching for a mobster's corpse.
For what appears to be a B movie, the
whole movie keeps up a steady pace for
plot twists. If you love movies of the
40's in general this movie will be
a pleaser. - stevehaynie
