Torchy Blane.. Playing with Dynamite (1939) D: Noel M. Smith. S: Jane Wyman, Allen Jenkins, Tom Kennedy, Sheila Bromley, Joe Cunningham, Eddie Marr, Edgar Dearing. Lackluster final TORCHY picture has new leads–Wyman and Jenkins–and a script rehashing bits from previous entries. Wyman’s better than everything else, but she and Jenkins have zero chemistry (appropriate since he’s old enough to be her dad). They’re trying to catch gangster Marr through his moll, Bromley. Kennedy’s still fun. Smith’s direction is rather bad, too.

The Verdict (1982) D: Sidney Lumet. S: Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason, Milo O’Shea, Roxanne Hart, Joe Seneca.
