The Dark Past Ratings & Reviews
Unseen Films
Nathanael Hood
Rudolph Maté's The Dark Past is a superb noir remake of Charles Vidor's subpar proto-noir Blind Alley (1939).
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Another of the era's barely tolerable advertisements for Freudian psychoanalysis.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A stagy remake of the Chester Morris film "Blind Alley" (39).
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
... a minor noir notable largely for Holden's uncharacteristically feral performance...
