Review of Decoy

Decoy (1946)
7/10
a good film noir
20 August 2007
I got Decoy from Critic's Choice Video. They're an Internet and catalog DVD company. I had never heard of the movie before, and this copy was crystal clear. It came in a boxed set entitled Warner Bros film noir # 4. Just to see this movie is worth what you'll pay for the rest of the movies. Jean Gillie was great in this movie. It makes Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity look like a pussy cat. It's sad to find out she died only making this movie and one other. I understand she died from pneumonia and was only 34 years old. If you get the movie from C C video, listen to the comments of one of the writers of the movie. It brings the movie to life. It was interesting to see Sheldon Leonard in this movie. He plays a cop. Of course, he became famous years later on television.
