Torrent description

Fans of film noir will definitely want to check out Slightly Scarlet, one of the few examples of the genre from its "golden period" to be shot in color. And what color it is! The word "lurid" may have been created specifically for this movie, which revels in greens that limes could imagine and oranges that practically explode from the screen -- not to mention scarlets that erase any pretense of "slightly." It's startling to see such color in a traditional noir film, but cinematographer John Alton know just how to use them. The color also benefits the twin carrot-topped femme fatales of the film, luscious Rhonda Fleming and devilish Arlene Dahl.This little film noir is freely adapted from James M. Cain's novel Love's Lovely Counterfeit, the story of a gangster working for a powerful Don who is fighting to retain control of the city's criminal activities when an honest mayoral candidate launches a strong anti-crime campaign. In a desperate attempt to derail his career, the Don assigns the hood to go digging for any dirt that can be used against the troublesome candidate. He finds some, but during the investigation he has fallen in love with the candidate's beautiful red-headed secretary and ends up double-crossing his boss.
