Too Late for Tears (US, 1949)

This blog's thousands of regular readers are beginning to notice a distinct pattern here: public domain lunchtime noirs legally viewed online at archive.org or on the openflix YT channel. And yes, this is another.

Lizabeth Scott shines as the manipulative, empty, pretty girl with things to hide - including her husband, shot at point-blank range and dumped in a lake. This in an effort to keep a hold on a suitcase containing $60,000 mysteriously thrown into their car (presumably by criminals) while out driving one night.

A reasonably satisfying noir. This version looks like a recording from TV, has quite a lot of audio static, and maybe missing a few brief moments here and there.
