While tame in today standards, it's understandable that this caused an outrage with the critics at the time with it's "disturbing" plot and having more violence than your average noir. Unfortunate this isn't the kind of movie after being revisionist belong to the top tier British noirs, some of the formal criticism was correct; the acting overal is pretty bland, he second act falters and their is no chemistry between the lovers. But it is a solid directed enjoyable B movie with cult tendencies.

Estreava há 75 anos. As ligações desse filme são infinitas, primeiro o Faulkner escreveu Santuário que virou o Temple Drake no cinema com o Jack La Rue como personagem masculino principal, com a mesmo plot geral o Chase escreveu o Miss Blandish com uma pegada muito mais violenta que deu origem a esse noir inglês com o La Rue repetindo a mesma persona de Temple Drake, mas foi o Aldrich com o Grissom Gang que levou às telas uma versão muito mais fiel e terrível do texto do Chase. Enfim, gosto mai

With Jack La Rue working in Britain, I found No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948) slick enough for a kidnapping romance. Yeah, that's the angle they went with. Regardless of how ridiculous that was, at least it was somewhat an original angle to a crooked story.
