Blind Alley

Some nice shots including a POV dream sequence, and good interactions between the characters. If you can find it, give it a watch -- especially if you're into psychoanalysis.

Amateur Freudian psychology in a pulp crime story. Nightmare ridden escaped murderer Chester Morris busts into psychology teacher Ralph Bellamy's house while waiting for his boat out of there, only to get his head analyzed by the shrink. It's an interesting crazed film. Naturally simplifies mental illness, but for a basic B-movie like this it creates a special tension to the violent hostage situation. Definitely a watchable minor Noir-precursor.

Heavy on the pop Freudianism, but Morris, Bellamy and Dvorak are all good here. Not great, but worth a look.

Very talky for a pulp film; it sometimes forgets about the criminal element (one of the houseguests doesn't make it to the end of the movie, but after his demise is never mentioned). Even at 70 minutes, this still feels a little long, even though the cast does well with what they're given to work with.
