Just know that a man, played by Alan Curtis, has a fight with his wife and ends up taking a woman he meets at a bar to a show in her stead. This sets off a chain of events that ends up with that man on death row and his loyal secretary trying to figure out what happened. It\u2019s gripping to say the least, taking the source material from genre stalwart Cornell Woolrich and elevating it through creative camerawork, great performances, and some hot jazz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-1024x805.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-1536x1208.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/phantom-lady_UuLAP6-2048x1610.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the first film produced by Joan Harrison, a natural extension of her work as screenwriter and collaborator with the great Alfred Hitchcock. Starting as his secretary she soon became a trusted member of his inner circle, providing research and contributing to the screenplays of movies like <em>Jamaica Inn<\/em> as she learned the ropes of film production. She moved to the states with Hitch and his wife Alma in 1939 and would go on to help write <em>Rebecca<\/em>, <em>Foreign Correspondent<\/em>, <em>Suspicion<\/em> and <em>Saboteur<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Phantom Lady<\/em> represented her taking what she learned in her time with Hitch and applying it to the leaner, more budget-friendly <em>noir<\/em> style. After making a few other movies, she\u2019d return to the Hitchcock fold with as producer of <em>Alfred Hitchcock Presents<\/em>, a show that proved that visually interesting, well-made television didn\u2019t need to cost a fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Phantom Lady<\/em> was the first noir directed by Robert Siodmak.&nbsp; Siodmak\u2019s an interesting cat, a German director who fled the Nazis \u2014 Joseph Goebbels himself talked trash about his film <em>The Burning Secret<\/em> \u2014 and found himself in France in 1933. France was a fantastic place for the 33-year old filmmaker; he got to collaborate with some greats like Maurice Chevalier and Erich von Stronheim white tackling a wide variety of genres. Of course, that\u2019s until the Germans did what they did at the time, and he found himself in Hollywood in 1939 along with his brother and frequent collaborator Curt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_-1536x1122.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beaucoupkevin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MV5BMTg4NDkzNzU5MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzEzODc5MTE@._V1_.jpg 1643w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Ella Raines as &#8220;Kansas,&#8221; visiting her boss Scott (Alan Curtis) on death row.

The same year, he helmed <em>The Suspect<\/em> (also starring Ella Raines, this time opposite the powerhouse Charles Laughton), 1945 saw Siodmak teaming up with Raines and producer Joan Harrison again, this time with Zero Mostel in the woefully underrated <em>The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry<\/em>, followed by <em>The Killers<\/em>, <em>The Dark Mirror<\/em>, <em>Time Out of Mind<\/em>, <em>Cry of the City <\/em>(a movie that single handedly made me revise my opinion of Victor Mature), <em>Criss Cross<\/em>, <em>The Great Sinner<\/em>, <em>The File on Thelma Jordan<\/em> and <em>Deported<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, that\u2019s it. A first-time producer, a director taking on a genre that would define him in many film nerds\u2019 eyes, Ella Raines as a character you&#8217;ll fall in love with, a top-billed actor who doesn\u2019t show up until 45 minutes into the movie, and, of course, Elisha Cook Jr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy <em>Phantom Lady<\/em> and come back next month for Sam Fuller\u2019s <em>Underworld U.S.A<\/em>, starring Cliff freakin\u2019 Robertson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was written as the introduction for the Mesilla Valley Film Society\u2019s screening of&nbsp;Phantom Lady&nbsp;in May, 2024. 1944 was a great year for noir \u2014 you had Otto Preminger\u2019s Laura;
