7/10
A Bolt from Out of the Blue ***
14 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The film should have concentrated more on the Mercedes McCambridge character and for what love of Richard Todd forced her to do. Rather, we're focused on the quick romantic situation between Todd and Ruth Roman leading to a quick marriage. Of course, Todd has been acquitted of killing his trollop wife but suspicion of him remains.

Nothing is elaborated regarding the Hickman character, brother to McCambridge and prone to outbursts. Ditto for the usually suave Zachary Scott, a lover of the murdered girl.

Who is that woman loaning out her car? Why not talk more of the Roman character's acting on the New York stage?
