2023 movie #35. 1950. A socialite (Wyman) shoots her husband in front of her boyfriend (Cobb), a homicide cop. He dumps the body at the airport. But his kid brother, newly promoted to detective, is too gung-ho to solve the case. Good story with Cobb and Wyman playing against type ( )

Cobb is very good as a cop trying to cover up his girlfriend's (Wyatt's) semi-accidental killing of her husband. Unfortunately, Cobb's brother--and fellow detective--Dall is too diligent in the murder investigation, given it's his first case. He's an attractive screen personality, but it's obviously a performance and lacks the subtlety of Cobb's performance. Wyatt is attractive but a little overwrought at times. Wells is quite good in a brief appearance as a suspect in a seemingly related crime. Overall, quite an effective film with great San Francisco locations, including a finale at Fort Point. ( )
