Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

ksf-2 Showing on the Moonlight Movies Channel. The only name i recognize in here is Hugh Beaumont... Dad, from Leave it to Beaver. Larry Craig's wife, thought long-dead, shows up and threatens the new girl-friend. then gets bumped off. A couple good songs, probably actually sung by Claudia Drake in this one, since most of the film takes place in a night club. The coppers question everyone, but one guys tells a different story than everyone else. A film noir... except that it feels like even the writers didn't know who dunnit until almost through filming. Suddenly, someone starts doing stuff, and now we know they must be involved. It's pretty good, but gets cheesy right near the end. It's ok. Directed by Sam Newfield, long-time bigshot at PRC film company.

arfdawg-1 Shortly before she is to be married, a young woman gets a visit from her fiancé's wife, who had been missing for seven years and presumed dead. Soon both the girl and her fiancé find themselves mixed up with a crooked nightclub owner, gangsters and murder.It's a nifty little very low budget film.Will keep your interest more or less.Not sure why they cant make these sorts of movies today. With video being so cheap it should be a shoe in.Guess no one is writing this stuff anymore.Best part -- the guy who played the father on the TV show Dennis the Menance is in it!

kidboots P.R.C. was one of the more humble poverty row studios - it's staple was westerns but it did have the occasional standout - "Bluebeard" (1944), "Strange Illusion" (1945), "Apology for Murder" (1945) and "Detour" (1945). "The Lady Confesses", with a few red herrings, at least has your attention right to the end.Just before her marriage to Larry Craig (Hugh Beaumont), Vicki (Mary Beth Hughes) receives a visit from Larry's first wife - she hasn't been heard of for 7 years and was presumed dead. She is very much alive but not for long. Larry already knows she is in town but when they call around to see her (as you would at 2 in the morning) it is to discover that she has been killed. Of course everyone (including the police) is surprised and none more so than Larry, but he has a airtight alibi - he was completely "lit up" (drunk) according to the bartender and slept for a few hours on singer Lucille Compton's (Claudia Drake) couch - or did he??? Vicki decides to do some investigating on her own, starting at the questionable 711 Club where she gets a job as a table photographer (even though she forgets to take the lens cap off the camera - silly girl!!!) All fingers point to Lucky Brandon (an actor who is a dead ringer for Billy DeWolfe), the suspicious night club owner - he is very secretive about his movements and is the only person not to vouch for Larry. Larry himself is odd - he is moody and surly and often rings Vicki up at strange hours. Lucille is just about to tell Vicki something about Larry - when the police chief breaks up their conversation. Lucille appeared very tense.Hugh Beaumont, before his "Leave it to Beaver" TV show and even before he was Michael Shayne in a group of PRC released films from the end of the 40s had a prominent part in Val Lewton's "The Seventh Victim" (1943). Surprisingly, it was then back to uncredited bits before he scored the leading role in "The Lady Confesses". I can't find any information about Claudia Drake but the couple of films I have seen her in she played singers and mostly sang more than she acted - so I guess she must have started out as a band singer. She is quite good and really deserved a better go in films.

dbborroughs Woman returns after seven years with the intention of spoiling the impending remarriage of her husband. Warning the girl that the man she loves is a louse she disappears into the night, only to turn up dead not long after. Who could have done it? The fiancé, the husband, the night club singer or the owner of the club? Breezy hour long story of murder and mystery as one murder becomes more and it looks like no one could have done it although everyone wanted to. Good but not great this is actually more compelling then you think it should be, I put it on figuring it would lull me to sleep instead I ended up up watching it to the end. Intriguing in that we get to see Hugh Beaumont before he was the Beaver's dad, in a role somewhat less squeaky clean. Its not high art but it is worth taking a gander at should you stumble upon it.
