Lizabeth Scott and Dick Powell in Pitfall (André De Toth, 1948)
Cast: Dick Powell, Lizabeth Scott, Jane Wyatt, Raymond Burr, Byron Barr, John Litel, Jimmy Hunt, Selmer Jackson. Screenplay: Karl Kamb, based on a novel by Jay Dratler. Cinematography: Harry J. Wild. Art direction: Arthur Lonergan. Film editing: Walter Thompson. Music: Louis Forbes.
André De Toth's Pitfall is a noir-tinged cautionary fable about midlife ennui. Married to his childhood sweetheart, Sue (Jane Wyatt), John Forbes (Dick Powell)is bored with his job at an insurance company and with his suburban life in general. But then he gets a case involving the recovery of the assets of Bill Smiley (Byron Barr), who is doing time for embezzlement. The sleazy private eye Forbes has hired, J.B. MacDonald (Raymond Burr), has tracked down some of the loot to Smiley's mistress, Mona Stevens (Lizabeth Scott). Forbes decides to pay her a visit, but not before MacDonald, with a nudge-nudge, wink-wink, urges him to put in a good word with Mona about him. Forbes's visit to Mona will turn into an affair that earns the enmity of not only MacDonald, who is obsessed with her, but also Smiley, whose jail term is almost up. The whole thing ends with a couple of corpses and a badly damaged marriage. De Toth handles it with a minimum of sugarcoating on the life of the Forbeses, even though they have a cute little boy named Tommy (Jimmy Hunt), and with a great deal of suspense as the hulking MacDonald, well-played by Burr in his heaviest heavy mode, gets Forbes more deeply involved in his relationship with Mona -- despite the best efforts of both Forbes and Mona to put an end to it.

1.- Quiero decir que el cine es una máquina del tiempo descompuesta… que quien sepa y entienda esto hasta sus últimas consecuencias podrá apreciar el milagro entero a través del haz de luz que no corta la obscuridad sino la Realidad, produciendo fantasmas que se vuelven reales una y otra vez, hasta ser más verdaderos que la vida misma. Y este es el juego de toda creación.
