I didn’t mind, as it was akin to reading a pulp novel. This led to Montgomery narrating the film, which many people hated. This had the lead actor off-camera most of the time. The real issue with Lady in the Lake (1946) is that director Robert Montgomery chose to use “the camera as the protagonist.” Or in other words, the majority of the film was shot as a POV from Phillip Marlowe’s (Robert Montgomery) eyes. So, I will say it is a very enjoyable watch and more than a little complicated. This film is right in there with Mystery Street (1950) and Border Incident (1949). On my ever-changing list of All Film Noirs, I am placing this movie at 49. This ain’t the best Film Noir, but it dang sure ain’t that bad. On, the film has 60 percent on the Tomatometer and 50 percent audience approval. I want to shout out to Military History Guy for his comments on The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954). Today on Classic Movie Review, we are taking on the Film Noir Lady in the Lake (1946).
