🎬 Sudden Fear (1952)

Newlywed playwright Myra (Joan Crawford) overhears her younger husband (Jack Palance) plotting to K*ll her with his mistress and decides to turn the tables. From dramatic lighting to dream sequences, bleak twists of fate and the city as a symbol of maze-like entrapment, Sudden Fear is a stunning sampler of noir technique.

‘Like many underrecognized treasures, David Miller’s Sudden Fear fits into and defies different genres, its convention-scrambling partly the result of the fact that the film looks both forward and back.’ – Village Voice
