Without Honor (1949)
3/10
Melodrama with a surprise or two
20 May 2023
Mighty dramatic goings-on surrounding an "inappropriate relationship", with a side of the brother-in-law always running his mouth. Some parts were unintentionally funny, invoking thoughts of a Carol Burnett parody waiting to made: like Laraine Day running wildly in the street, being accidentally sprayed with water, falling down and missing the bus by a moment. Mostly she is suspiciously silent (using her very pretty and expressive features to do the acting), wandering back and forth in a daze. She should have been given more lines, if only to relieve us of the sound of Dane Clark's voice. Plot misstep: if she loved Tone so much, why didn't she try to get him immediate medical help??

Agnes Moorehead was the steady anchor these hysterical characters needed.
