acsdoug D @acsdoug Dec 18, 2024 Not sure where the title came from, but I thought this was an enjoyable noir. I just wish they had put a better actor than Robert Taylor in the lead role.

See more Jan 27, 2021 So often I commend beautifully shot movies, and this one is certainly one of them, cinematography by Paul Vogel, but I rarely acknowledge the people who are responsible for giving the lensman something interesting to shoot. So, kudos to this movie's art directors, Cedric Gibbons and Leonid Vasian; and, set decorator Edwin B. Willis. The film itself is enjoyable and the leads, Robert Taylor and Audrey Totter, are fabulous. There are, however, a couple of glaring plot points that don't work. Nonetheless... enjoy!

Never heard of until watched on THE MOVIE CHANNEL 9/6/20 See more Sep 21, 2014 A modestly successful psychological drama cum Noir with good supporting performances, and one particularly nifty, snappy scene of a blustering attorney repeatedly misidentifying the doctor - it's the one moment when this movie hits us with snappy dialog, and it's very fun. See more Sep 28, 2012 High Wall is one of Robert Taylor's most unusual and successful performances. Often stereotyped as the beautiful lover or dashing hero, here Taylor brings depth and complexity to the character of Steven Kenet, a possible murderer. Kenet swings through a wide variety of emotions as his mental state alters and Taylor uses both face and body to render these memorably. The film noir photography and chiaroscuro add to the dramatic effect. Taylor is well supported by Audrey Totter, Herbert Marshall, H. B. Warner and others in this satisfying mystery.
