  Quintessential John Garfield. He’s on the screen for almost the entire film. Not a very good print on the criterion collection.

  Don't Bother to Knock 1952

  ★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2023

  An interesting film, Marilyn Monroe’s first starring role dramatic and disturbing. Ann Bancroft’s first role in any film and Richard Widmark is very good. Is it just me or does he sound like Sinatra?

  Cinematography by Lucien Ballard is fun to watch nice print on TCM
