Without Honor (1949)
Member Rating:  
Also known as Twilight, Without Honor is a tour de force for leading-lady Laraine Day. During a quarrel with her lover Dennis Williams (Franchot Tone), Mrs. Jane Bandle (Day) attacks him with an ice pick. Believing she has killed Williams, she hurriedly hides the body in her laundry room when her husband Fred (Bruce Bennett) comes home. As Jane's nasty brother-in-law Bill Bandle (Dane Clark) reveals her romantic peccadilloes to Jane's husband and to Williams's wife Katherine (Agnes Moorehead), the "dead" man recovers and drags himself to a nearby hospital. Amazingly, the only one to suffer long-term consequences from this whole mess is the obnoxious Bill! As always, composer Max Steiner's musical score dutifully clues the viewer in as to what's about to happen next in any given scene. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Sort of cheesy bit of melodrama--good only because of the stars, Laraine Day, Franchot Tone,Bruce Bennet,Dane Clark & Agnes Moorhead. Day gives a good performance as the neglected wife. She is twitchy and nervous, trapped im nore ways than one. Frnachot Tone suave and devilish, Dane Clark is his usual creepy best as the brother in-law. Moorhead is classy, as always. Bruce Bennet is solid & dependable--too bad his character wasn't there for his wife--but then we'd have no movie! Looks seriously low budget--but worth a view if you are a total movie fan.

While this movie will not win any awards, the plot is entertaining and Laraine Day's acting is pretty good. For classic film buffs, this is a good movie to see!
