Movie Review - No Way Out
No Way Out (1950)
directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from JL
If you know someone who thinks that Virgil Tibbs demanding to be called "Mister" ranks right up there with Everett Sloane's "she was carrying a white parasol" number in Citizen Kane, please recommend "No Way Out" as the also-ran contender on his or her list of Richard Widmark's most mediocre villains, Mankiewicz's soppiest productions, and the twentieth-century's guiltiest liberal-guilt photoplays.
