Screening Log, December 2007

Hell and High Water
USA / 1954

Not one of Fuller’s finest hours — although the atom bomb over the credits at the start promises much — with a leaden script that hits banal rock bottom with the woman-aboard-a-submarine-business. Still, all the unsubtitled foreign languages are a nice touch, the film does pick up once the action gets going, and Fuller aficionados will appreciate the brutality of Widmark slicing off the professor’s finger in order to get the hatch closed.
