- KahnsWrath3. februar 2026Ray Milland stars in John Farrow's film noir thriller The Big Clock as an editor-in-chief, George Stroud, who is fired by his abusive boss, Earl Janoth (Charles Laughton), after he refuses to skip his already postponed honeymoon to travel for an assignment. When Stroud goes to a local bar to drown his sorrows, he runs into Janoth's mistress (Rita Johnson), who proposes that they blackmail Janoth, but things take an unexpectedly dark turn when one of them winds up murdered. Initially, The Big Clock was dismissed as too clever and too polished for a noir, but, in retrospect, its structural brilliance, biting cynicism, and relentless tension make it one of the smartest and most finely engineered film noirs ever made. What makes The Big Clock a masterpiece is its audacious narrative design: a man is ordered to investigate a murder, without realizing he himself is the prime suspect. As the net tightens, every clue points closer to him, turning the familiar noir theme of fate into something almost playful yet terrifying, solidifying The Big Clock as a quiet masterpiece hiding in plain sight.
- eif99924. januar 2025Oh I forgot how good this one is. Paramount noirs were very different than RKOs. They have a lighter touch and are overstuffed with actors, elaborate sets and interesting camera movements. I swear I can tell the difference between 40s RKO, WB, Paramount and Universal pictures films just by their look. Studios really did have a set way of making films with the director not contributing as much as you would have believed. Farrow does have to be praised if only because his wife O’Sullivan is in it and the camera loves her. A great suspense film that leans into the oversized New York characters that pepper the film. Elsa Lanchester and George Macready are great as always. But there’s also little Harry Morgan as a hitman. But this is Charles Laughton’s world and he’s the boss. So much fun.
