Tarnished (1950)
Another Republic Studios rare item...

Once more, our faithful friend Long Horn gave us the summary of this little film, lines he got from a library dictionary. Well, so that I don't need to tell it to you. Easy for me, isn't it?

This film hesitates between noir and drama. A young man return home after the WW2, serving in the Marine Corp, and of course everything seems to collapse when he arrives; except perhaps with his long time girl friend. Jealousy make some other folks trying everything to put him down. Nothing really new here. It remains classical, predictable. From the start to the end.

But this rare and early Harry Keller films remains interesting to any one who is curious of the very gifted and maybe not enough known director of QUANTEZ, DAY OF THE BAD MAN and SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN. His first films were westerns for the most, and for Republic pictures, such RG Springsteen or Thomas Carr's ones.
