REPEAT PERFORMANCE remains one of the most haunting of film noir set in a most unusual "noir-ish" setting - the Broadway theater. It is distinguished by a superb cast, all the more wondrous considering that it was made by Eagle Lion. But its most extraordinary gift is JOAN LESLIE. This gifted actress had been semi-blackballed since she had left Warners, and, in this stylish yarn, she emerged as an adult actress of skill and depth. The opening scene is pure Hitchcockian...and as brilliant as ROPE. Richard Basehart blisters the screen in his debut. This film should be restored and cherished. Alfred Werker's direction should be recognized... and Ms. Leslie should be thanked.
