Review of Incident

Incident (1948)
6/10
Always accept a lift home if offered
21 February 2018
Warren Douglass (Joe) leaves for home after spending the night with friends Harry Lauter (Bill) and Joyce Compton (Joan). He refuses a lift home and decides to make his own way. Uh-oh, he's made the wrong decision and from this we get the incident. Basically, he gets beaten up in a case of mistaken identity. He wants to know more about why this happened and has a name - Slats - to go by. So, he revisits the scene and starts to make his own enquiries. Cue a meeting with Jane Frazee (Marion).

The story is quite packed. By that I mean pay attention or you might lose your way. Still, it's an entertaining short story with Frazee on good form in the lead female role. Compton is really irritating in this film. I fell asleep briefly on a few occasions as I'd eaten a huge pasta meal but the film is still an ok overall experience. Nothing too special. I'll pay attention all the way through next time I see it.
