MOSS ROSE (’47): I love this sort of film. Victorian #filmnoir with Peggy Cummins as low-class chorus girl blackmailing Victor Mature, who she believes murderer of her friend, into taking her into high society. But is he really the murderer? Creative setup, good performances from the key players- I never really think of Ethel Barrymore until she shows up somewhere, then am reminded how great she was too. And best of all, I learned more than I ever thought possible about the moss rose. #40sfilms
