The Dark past   1948. Columbia
Director: 
Rudolph Mate
Cast:  
William Holden (Al Walker)
         
Lee J. Cobb, Nina Foch, Lois Maxwell,
          Adele Jergens, 

   Adapted from the Play " Blind Alley" by James Warwick
A remake of the 1939 film" Blind Alley" has William Holden as a killer with an Oedipus complex who escapes from prison and with his sweetheart (Foch) and two accomplices seeks refuge in a lakeside cabin presently inhabited by a pipe-smoking psychiatrist (Cobb) who attempts to convince the hood to give himself up.
The predictability of the material robbed the film of any surprise but Cobb is marvelous as the  psychiatrist, and Holden is wonderful as the psychotic bad guy. The two actors, reunited for the first time after "Golden Boy" work well together and   Foch is top- notch as Holden's moll.

Holden is a little dull and underused in the movie that focuses on the relation between Crain and Gwenn.
