Decoy (1946)
5/10
Film Noir Or Horror?
12 November 2013
Jack Bernhard directed this obscure cult item and bizarre film noir/horror hybrid that stars Jean Gillie as a ruthless Femme Fatale who seduces gangster Jim Vincent to break into a prison where her husband(played by Robert Armstrong) has just been executed in the gas chamber, but she knows a way of reviving him so that he will tell her where his fortune in cash is buried! The plan works until Jim kills her husband in a fit of jealousy, forcing them to find the money with an incomplete map. Sheldon Leonard plays the policeman in pursuit. Strange film has a ridiculous plot, but Jean Gillie is something else as the lethal leading lady, truly an unrepentant sociopath to the bitter end.
