The Desperate Hours (1955)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 3/10

3/10: The Desperate Hours is a cliché picture with a predictable ending, but watching Humphrey Bogart and Fredric March go against each other makes the show special.

It's hard to decide who to root for: the bad guy in Bogart or the hero in March. Obviously, Humphrey Bogart's star power is overwhelming to have no sympathetic feeling for his side, but Fredric March actually prevails at the end and therefore wins the contest.

All in all, displaying plenty of noir, The Desperate Hours is fine film at the hands of William Wyler.
