Fear (1946)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Alfred Zeisler
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

A college student facing a large tuition bill resorts to murder in order to pay it. His guilt ridden conscience makes him paranoid, especially around police detectives. It appears he may get away with murder when another man is falsely accused and arrested. However, the ludicrous ending won't allow it, which may have satisfied the production code ethics but leave most viewers rolling their eyes. Adapted from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, which I can assure you had a different ending.
