"Tension" (1949): The wicked Audrey Totter is married to nerdy storeowner Richard Basehart. Since she happens to be one of the biggest tramps of film noir, she of course, cheats. Rich isn't too happy about this, and creates a new alias so he can kill the lover without getting caught. But of course, a big plot jerk comes ... "Tension" is now one of my favorite film noirs. Nothing can compare to Audrey Totter, who gives probably my favorite femme fatale performance of all time. She says her lines with such snap, crackle, and pop that she makes it a role that only she can play to perfection. The director named this movie "Tension" for one reason is particular-- this is a heck of a suspenseful film! There's so many plot twists in store, and with that unpredictability, THAT'S what makes this film. 5 + Stars, and I mean that.

Very uneven. For a movie called "Tension", there isn't very much of it, and the overall tone is oddly low-key. Richard Basehart's motivations are also strange, and it takes him way too long to figure out what a bad idea his scheme is... not to mention how poorly thought-out it is, with his Clark Kent-style disguise. The whole thing feels clumsy and misguided, and yet it has a compelling forward motion to it. Femmes fatale are not as common in noir as one might think, but when there is one, she's usually the best part of the movie. Audrey Trotter does not disappoint, dominating every scene she's in, and her character is delightfully rotten. Also worth noting is Barry Sullivan as a cop who's unscrupulous in a way you don't see very often. The ambiguity to his character adds a little spice. I definitely didn't LOVE this movie, but I got a few kicks from it.
