Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Maddyclassicfilms Moment Of Danger is directed by Laslo Benedek, has a screenplay by David D. Osborn, is based on the novel by Donald MacKenzie and stars Dorothy Dandridge, Trevor Howard,Edmund Purdom and Michael Hordon.Thief Peter Curran(Edmund Purdom)and locksmith John Bain(Trevor Howard)steal some jewels and Bain is double crossed by Curran. Curran also abandons his girlfriend Gianna(Dorothy Dandridge), Gianna and Bain team up together to get even with Curran. As time goes on they begin to fall in love with each other.This would sadly be one of Dorothy's last films and she gives a truly magnificent and powerful performance as Gianna, when she's on screen she holds your attention completely. Trevor is superb as Bain and has great chemistry with Dandridge. A great crime drama which deserves more attention than it's received.

carolscott564 I remembered this film as a child when it would come on Channel 7 movie. I could not believe this was Ms. Dandridge's last film role because she was so good. Hopefully this movie will be on DVD. The cast was so good and due to Jim Crow they could show kissing between black and whites in films like they can now. I've always liked Trevor Howard and he was quite good in Malaga. After Carmen Jones Ms. Dandridge did other films such as Island in The Sun Porgy and Bess, The Decks Ran Red and Tamango and except for Porgy and Bess she always seem to be lusted after by white men. But Ms. Dandridge to me was our Marilyn Monroe! This movie is rarely shown on TV whether cable or not! For Black History month certain stations would mostly show Sidney Poitier movies as if that is what Black History is all about. Some people never heard of Dorothy Dandridge until Halle Berry portrayed on HBO! They say you're as good as last film and this film would be the last for Ms. Dandridge and we will never know what other film roles she would have done.

normbong Forget Carmen Jones! This is Dorothy Dandridge's greatest performance on film, bar none. Her disillusioned, world-weary, but still hopeful Gianna is the essence of film noir. The parallels to her life are eerie. She says to Johnny (Trevor Howard), "No, with us, Johnny, it has to be everything -- or nothing." "Everything and Nothing" would be the title of her posthumously-published autobiography a few years later. She says, "London was my Mexico. There isn't any Mexico for anybody, anywhere." The day she died, she was to return to Mexico to do some television and film work.Forget the drivel published in most movie-listing books. Watch this film for yourself (if you can find a way to do so). This is a master actress giving everything she has to a role. I would love to see a brand-new director's cut with the outtakes replaced. The haunting music is by Matyas Seiber, who studied composition under Bela Bartok. This film is new every time you watch it.

carmenjones411 Dorothy finished up her film career with this great film about two drifters trying to find a jewel thief who has wronged them, Dorothy is very effective playing this world weary woman, because she herself was weary in her own life, she plays the part with no make-up and a not so becoming wig, but manages to look breath-taking none the less, i think her character Gianna is the best she ever played, even more than Carmen because the line between fact and fiction blurred in this, the rest of cast is also effective, Dorothy and Trevor worked well together, and should have been paired in another film.this is a hard to find film, but worth it to see Dorothy in her last film role.
