Clash By Night (1952)


This is classic noir. The plot involves a bored and unhappy wife, a really crappy friend, an affair and tons of really, really bad decisions.

The plot is a super, extra special downer. The great part is watching Barbara Stanwyck play bored and shallow, with Marilyn thrown in as the gorgeous youngster in the family. The two women are fantastic together. Marilyn is really acting here, and of course Stanwyck is amazing.

If you like either of these actresses, or noir, pick this up.
