JUNE VINCENT AS THE FEMME FATALE BLONDE IN 'SHED NO TEARS'
 |
| Title: SHED NO TEARS Year: 1948 Rating: ***1/2 |
Imagine Virginia Mayo with a crookedly wicked smile that visciously smooths into an entitled-pouting menace, and you have 1940's b-movie starlet June Vincent in what's yet another take on DOUBLE INDEMNITY: only this time the wife's bland older husband doesn't get killed by a handsome lover...
The poor dolt actually kills himself... or rather, they both do... as in, faking his murder in a rushed opening shot of a burning hotel room and, within minutes, as Vincent's driving with Wallace Ford, we learned everything through even more rushed expository dialogue...

As SHED NO TEARS plays more like an stagey melodramatic programmer (or later, something that would play on television) as the edgy noir aspect's mostly built into the twisty plot-line...
Also involving a flamboyantly scheming insurance investigator, a standard handsome lover and the supposedly deceased husband's son (the victim in ROPE): who all pale to Vincent's femme-fatale, deserving a much darker canvas more suited to her naturally wicked, tour-de-force role.
