Movie Review - The Narrow Margin
The Narrow Margin (1952)
directed by Richard Fleischer
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
When I think of a B picture from the old days, it isn't really on the same terms that made the "minor" half of a double feature its own genre. Maybe that's because so many B movies are considered classics today, even apart from the constraints and limitations that made them unique. But "The Narrow Margin" feels just like a B movie should: functional actors, trim plot, workman-like execution. Fun but not great.
