Hangover Square
1945, 20th Century–Fox [Disney]. 78 min. Dir. John Brahm
In this Edwardian noir, George Sanders is a Scotland Yard psychologist and Laird Cregar (in his final role) is a distinguished composer who moonlights as a serial killer. Linda Darnell steals the show as a conniving singer with a grisly sendoff. Bernard Herrmann’s “Concerto Macabre,” centerpiece of the film’s climax, is one of the most thrilling works composed for the cinema.
