There is no denying that Elia Kazan was one of the great Hollywood directors as he proved in this complex murder mystery. When a beloved priest is killed, the whole town demands answers and when a suspect is brought in, everyone wants to pin the murder on him. Everyone except District Attorney Dana Andrews who finds numerous holes in the case. When he discovers that there are enormous political pressures to convict a man who may be innocent, this drama becomes truly gripping. Co-stars Lee J. Cobb and Ed Begley do their usual fine job of acting.

Good news: this title is being rereleased in September 2008! A truly apt title indeed.
We'll finally be be able to fill that annoying hole in the Fox Film Noir series on our shelves.
As I recall this is a very good title, in the upper-tier of films noirs, but not quite into the top-tier (like Woman in the Window, Double Indemnity or Night and the City). It's been quite some time since I saw it (on TvO Saturday Night I seem to dimly recall or perhaps PBS), but my usually reliable memory indicates this should be a most enjoyable re-viewing.
The last crop of Fox Film Noir was not the most substantial of the series (Black Widow is somewhat entertaining a times, but not really noir and rather slight). The 3 titles scheduled for early September mark a clear increase in terms of quality and pertinence.
Now if only Fox would finally reissue Lang's Manhunt, which they've been labelling as Coming Soon for ages.

I enjoy old film noir and I'm aware of the more obvious classics (Maltese Falcon, Laura, Out of the Past, etc.). Beyond that, I'm not old enough to know so I have to research and read ratings by others on places such as Amazon. I recently ordered 4 more, based on great reviews by customers.
IMO, this film is good but not great, and definitely not a classic in the same league as the above mentioned films. The acting is not as good or convincing and the plot is rather obvious and lacks the usual twists. This is a movie to rent, not necessary to own.
As for the DVD itself, the transfer and sound quality are fine, about the same as others in this series. The DVD contains the film and some other promo trailers. Not much else in terms of bonus features, just like the others in these series.

"The primary duty of a lawyer exercising the office of public prosecutor is not to convict, but to see that justice is done"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 10, 2016Verified Purchase
EXCELLENT! I was quite impressed by this 1947 oldie but goldie "film noir" mixing a criminal investigation with politics. Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS.
PRECISION: this is the review of "Fox Film Noir" Region 1 NTSC USA+Canada version. It will NOT play on Region 2 PAL Europe + UK equipement.
This film is based on a real story which happened 4 February 1924 in Bridgegport, Connecticut. That evening a respected priest, Father Dahme, was shot and killed on the street, without any apparent motive. The investigation which followed was a quite dramatic one, but I will not say here more to avoid SPOILERS and I advise you to not research the whole thing before watching the film. In "Boomerang" the events were a little bit amended, but in general lines the film follows the real story.
The film is relatively short (88 minutes) but very well organised and filled with events. It was only the second film Elia Kazan directed, but it is clear that even at that stage he had a great mastery of his trade. All actors did very well but two rise above the crowd - Dana Andrews, who plays Connecticut Attorney General supervising the investigation and Arthur Kennedy, who plays... well, somebody else.
There is a terrible political dilemma in this film. We are told in the beginning that a new administration was recently elected in the state, replacing a corrupt previous government. The terrible murder and the difficult investigation are now being used by the people who lost elections to prepare their comeback to the top of the government - and they are doing a helluva job about it. Which forces the new administration to ask itself a question: "How many angles can we cut in the name of greater good?"... It will be a difficult debate... I will say no more.
I will keep this review short, to avoid spoilers. I never heard about this film before but I am so glad that I discovered it. Notwithstanding some minor weaknesses of the scenario, it nevertheless IMPRESSED me! A recommended viewing. ENJOY!

I'm afraid Eureka are just not up to par with their Blu-ray offerings. I expected a lot better. This is the fourth offering of theirs I have had that is not up par. Boomerang blu-ray is no better than the dvd. Flight of the Phoenix was no better either. It's a pity that Arrow cannot issue all of these films as their Blu-ray offerings are amazing.
