Rendezvous

A Solid Movie
If you enjoy watching the ever-urbane and always dapper William Powell straightening out a complex mess and catching the bad guys, give this movie some consideration. This movie is a drama interspersed with some funny moments with Roz Ruzzell. These moments are actually pretty funny, and so is she. I enjoyed her in this movie. She and William synergize well.

Even though they team well, don't expect the jocularity of The Thin Man. He is neither hard-drinking, nor cracking wise at every turn. He is an army officer working hard to thwart spies in a time of war. This offers a nice contrast to pursuing a murderer.

A murderer and a spy network are the same inasmuch as they both endeavour to conceal their identities. But, this is where the similarity ends, and the juxtaposition begins. When a murderer is found out, he attemps to flee.

To a spy network operating in a country, that is at war with their own country, it is an entirely different rodeo. Fleeing is...

An excellent film
Greatly enjoyed this film which has both witty dialogue and superb acting by Rosalind Russell and William Powell.
Strongly recommended with a high quality reproduction.

William Powell at is best!!!
Just when I thought I had seen all the William Powell movies, I discovered this delightfully funny movie. Check out Star of Midnight - his absolute best!!! You can see these were inline with his character in the Thin Man series.
