VotreSante Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I just saw a movie called Kid Glove Killer. It stars Van Heflin and Marsha Hunt and I think it was the first movie to use Forensics to solve crime. Link to post Share on other sites

OllieTSB Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 This film should definitely be in a Van Heflin box-set. *Johnny Eager* as a great supporting character. *The Prowler* as one of the most provocative leads we've discussed in a while. *Act Of Violence* against Robert Ryan and Heflin's own POW past. Lotsa others, too, but I'd love to see the unDVD'd stuff ( *Green Dolphin Street* , for example). Has anyone thought of a prior-to-1942 film that had a focus on the crime lab? "Dust for fingerprints" doesn't count, either. I was thinking about Fritz Lang's 1936 *Fury* with Spencer Tracy. A crime-lab might have sifted thru the rubble then, but ruined a really great story. And two decades later, poor Henry Fonda might be the wrong man in 1956, but apparently CSI Richard Denning was too busy with 1955's *The Creature With The Atom Brain* to help out. I tell ya, if Henry had only had that radioactive control device stuck in his skull that year before, ol' Hitch coulda never let him get confused with other folks. Link to post Share on other sites
