PG | 110 Mins | 1952 | DCP | US | D: David Miller
Newlywed playwright Myra (Joan Crawford) overhears her younger husband (Jack Palance) plotting to kill her with his mistress and decides to turn the tables. From dramatic lighting to dream sequences, bleak twists of fate and the city as a symbol of maze-like entrapment, Sudden Fear is a stunning sampler of noir technique.
‘Like many underrecognized treasures, David Miller’s Sudden Fear fits into and defies different genres, its convention-scrambling partly the result of the fact that the film looks both forward and back.’ – Village Voice
