with a more realistic edge.
John Farrow's, "Where Danger Lives:" in a word, W O W !
Relatively unknown Faith Domergue is one of the most beautiful human beings you'll ever see--- and her character is one of the most memorable as THE femme fatale that breaks down Robert Mitchum in record time.
Mitchum shows he could "do" more than just the anti-heroic tough guy: he plays, very believably, a doctor with a heart of gold that tragically decides to help a troubled young woman that is brought to his hospital after a botched suicide attempt.
Soon, the obligatory murder occurs and the pair immediately are suspected.
Ms. Domergue had a history as interesting as any noir character: she was adopted in New Orleans at an early age, taken by her parents to California where she (I wonder how?) ended up at age 15 (yes, fifteen) at a party aboard Howard Hughes' yacht. He was so stricken with her that he had her put, immediately, under contract and began "seeing" her.
It was years later, after the obligatory film "schooling" that she got this plum.
For sheer beauty, I'd have to agree with Hughes: Faith is stunning.
All one can say about Mitchum is, "There but for the grace of God go I."
I can't see any red-blooded male not responding to her...
