Review of Cornered

Cornered (1945)
7/10
like the noir premise
10 February 2022
Canadian air force pilot Laurence Gerard (Dick Powell) returns to post-war France to find his resistant fighter bride had been murdered by Marcel Jarnac. Marcel was a Vichy collaborator who is presumed dead. He decides to investigate on his own which leads to Buenos Aires.

I like the setup and the premise. The path is winding and the turns get complicated. I would have liked some more violence early on and a plot that is much more straight forward. It should be a simpler quest as he uncovers the underbelly of fascist politics. This is still pretty good and it's great to have a Nazi hunt so quickly after the war.
