Dead Reckoning (1947)

Starring Humphrey Bogart, Lizabeth Scott
Directed by John Cromwell

Rip Murdock (Bogart) heads to Gulf City in search of a friend who went AWOL after they returned from WWII. The friend turns up dead but Murdock still wants to know why he disappeared and what his connection is to Dusty Chandler (Scott), an old flame of his friend. Rip finds out that his friend was wanted for murder, for killing Chandler's husband, before he enlisted. Before you know it Rip is trying to clean up the mess by taking on the owner of a nightclub and falling hard for Dusty.

Is this movie great? No. It feels kind of slapped together. the elements are all there but it just doesn't do it for me the way I want it to. The only people I would recommend it to are completists of one sort or another who want to see every noir film or every Humphrey Bogart movie or something else along those lines.
