ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 10/14/2020 Hollow Triumph is a fantastic film. It is about John Muller who is pursued by the big-time gambler he robbed. Paul Henreid and Joan Bennet give terrific performance is good but a little slow in places. Steve Sekely did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Hollow Triumph is a must see. See more Robbie K @RT50853010 05/21/2018 Excellent example of an interesting story albeit a bit convenient . Still I really enjoyed this low budget film noir . 4.5 out of 5. In this forgotten film noir gem, a crook (Paul Heinreid) on the lam after a casino robbery gone wrong thinks he's found the perfect deep cover when he assumes the identity of a psychologist (Heinreid in a double role) who is his perfect double. But when his nefarious scheme to take the innocent doctor's place goes wrong, it proves that in film noir, you can postpone your fate, but you can't escape it.

However, the film has a fine gritty script about an ex-con who poses as a lookalike psychiatrist following a heist gone wrong of an underground gambling joint. But even more to the film's benefit is the stark, moody photography by John Alton, who shot other low budget classics like "The Big Combo," "Border Incident" and "Raw Deal." Not a classic, but well worth checking out for fan of film noir. See more 04/18/2014 Joan Bennett is terrific as Evelyn and this is the only compliment I can give this movie with an incredibly stupid plot that no one could possibly suspend their disbelief for. See more 03/16/2012 Posted in "honor" of Syracuse's game yesterday. See more 12/26/2011 a prelude to the noirish feel of some twilight zone episodes. Joan Bennett is always nice to see onscreen.
