The Seventh Victim (1943)
Great Val Lewton, but not his best!
A young woman has to leave the private school she is attending to go looking for her sister that seems to have disappeared in New York. Trying to locate her by asking around the community, she encounters different characters, some amicable, others less enthusiastic in helping her. When one such person finally decides to give her a hand, she realizes that something is terribly wrong and danger his lurking around.
Although, a good movie, it is not Mr. Lewton's best. I have just seen his previous features(Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie and The Leopard Man) which were all directed by Jacques Tourneur, and have found these much more fascinating, but still, it his great to watch. There are less effective lighting effects than the others mentioned, but the plot advances at an interesting pace. Kim Hunter is very good in her starting role, as well is Tom Conway which also appears in Cat People and I Walked With a Zombie.
I recommend this film, especially for those interested in Val Lewton's work. I rate this movie 7 out of 10. A must see for Val fans.
