Lighthouse (1947)
7/10
Hard to believe, but PRC did make at least one good movie...
21 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The final movie of alluring blonde, June Lang, who was blacklisted by all the major Hollywood studios for not doing as she was told. Ordered to make a movie in England in 1938, even though war was likely to break out at any moment, she was blacklisted when she defied the studio, left England and returned to Hollywood. And no sooner had she got back into the studios' good books, she married a mobster. June claimed she didn't know he was a mobster, even though everyone else in Hollywood was well aware of this fact. A shame! She was a fine actress, and at least her final movie was a good one. That is pretty amazing since the studio is PRC, a studio at the bottom of the bottom. So don't let anyone ever tell you that PRC never made a good movie. That bottom-of-the-rung, telephone booth of a studio did make at least one watchable film – this one! Of course filming at a real lighthouse helps. So do good performances from John Litel, Don Castle and the lovely June.
