Film
Skool
A film noir set in the French countryside, with an avuncular Parisian detective (Steven Geray) in the lead role: sounds too cute for its own good, right? Wrong.
Director Joseph H. Lewis' (The Big Combo, My Name Is Julia Ross) picture starts off seemingly as one thing, before turning on a dime, and revealing a dark - and frightening - underbelly. Initially I was thrown by the seemingly twee tone, creaky script, and jolly score - until the killing started. The twist, when revealed, is startling.
At around seventy minutes in length, So Dark The Night is short and sweet; an average script saved by Lewis' direction.
