When you think of Edward G. Robinson, you probably think of one of his classic gangster films like Little Caesar, or maybe you remember him as the dogged insurance investigator in the still thrilling noir, Double Indemnity. Watching his performance in this rare film from 1947 will add a different dimension to what you remember the actor for. Directed by Delmer Daves, the film tells the story of a young girl experiencing the first love of her life with a boy from her high school working on her family farm. Things seem normal on the surface, but there’s a secret hidden in the family closet, a secret that is slowly driving Robinson’s character insane. The story gets a little too weird at times, but the cinematography by Bert Glennon is stunningly atmospheric and beautiful.
