Sour and surly, Galt behaves himself only when he's around his faithful and adoring secretary Kathleen (top-billed Lucille Ball). When Galt's crooked former partner Tony Jardine (Kurt Krueger) inaugurates an affair with socialite Mari Cathcart (Cathy Downs), Cathcart's waspish art-collector husband (Clifton Webb) arranges Jardine's murder,

A pretty good thriller.
...a compelling, surprisingly suspenseful little film noir.
No less than other noir classics, The Dark Corner is full of sadistic bits of business.
Not dark enough, but a Corner still worth a stroll.
A superb film noir in every way possible.
It's hard for a film to be dark and foreboding when Lucy is around, she sparkles far too much for film noir. Her gams may say Double Indemnity but her personality screams Duck Soup.

Tight little noir that would have benefitted from a different leading man. Mark Stevens isn't bad he just lacks the charisma and star quality of those other great noir protaganists like Mitchum and Kirk Douglas. Lucy is sharp and sassy as the girl Friday as she usually was in her pre-TV films. Good support from William
