Overlooked 1970's Crime Classic
****SPOILER ALERT**** Canadian whodunit that was overlooked back in
1976 here in the USA as one of many "Dirty Harry" clones that were
released at that time is being rediscovered as one of the best crime as
well as police action dramas of the 1970's. The movie includes two
great chase scenes one on foot and the other on wheels the former
exciting and the latter simply amazing rivaling the chase sequences of
"Bullitt" and "The French Connection". At the start of the film we see
Louise Saitta arguing with her collage professor Dr.George Tracer, just
out of ear shot of the theater audience, on the Montreal University
campus. Louise goes to a pay phone to call her brother Tony who's a
captain on the Ottawa police force and is told that Capt. Saitta is out
on assignment. Later that evening Louise partying with some friends at
the campus falls sick and Dr. Tracer, who is also Louise's personal
physician, is called to help. After giving her a mild stimulant Louise
gets up and starts to dance with one of her friends at the party. Dr.
Tracer, stunned at Louise's amazing recovery at first, realizes that
Louise had played a joke to get even with him over the argument that
they had earlier that afternoon. Later at the party after Louise sips
some wine she suddenly collapses again and loses conciseness but this
time it's no joke, it's real and despite the best efforts by Dr. Tracer
to revive her Louise dies. At Louise's funeral her brother Capt. Saitta
meets some of Louise's friends, Margi Cohn and her brother Terri and
also Julie a blind music teacher at the collage and Louise's best
friend. After the funeral at Julie's room in the college dorm Saitta is
told by Julie that Louise was very depressed and despondent the week
before she died. Capt. Saitta begins to suspect that there was foul
play involved in his sister's death. He also notices that there's a
number of photos of Louise on Julie's desk and asks Julie if he can
have them. Julie tells Saitta that it would be only right for him to
have the photos since Louise was his sister. From all the facts that he
can gather Capt. Saitta thinks that Louise was poisoned by Dr.Tracer.
There were rumors all around the collage campus that Tracer was having
an affair with Louise and was afraid that she was going to go public
with it because Dr. Tracer wanted it ended. The revelations of the
affair would not only destroy Dr. Tracer's marriage but also his
professional career. Capt Saitta and the police pay Tracer a visit at
his home and ask to see the doctors bag where he has the stimulant that
he gave Louise the night she died and To Tracer's surprise the bottle
was missing. Capt. Saitta thinks that Dr. Tracer gave Louise a poison
and later got rid of the bottle to cover up his crime. Tracer is
arrested for suspicion in Louise's murder and Capt. Saitta thinks that
his sister's death has been solved. Some time later a woman is found
murdered and her body dumped in a junk yard. The police pathologist
finds that the woman was really a man dressed in drag and is identified
as Terri Cohn, a friend of Louise and one of the people that Capt.
Saitta met at Louise's funeral. In Terri's handbag was a cropped photo
of a women's neck wearing a blue necklace. Checking the photos Saitta
thinks that the necklace photo looks very familiar and sees that it's
one of the photos given to him by Julie of Louise, also found on Terri
was a key to what turned out to be a locker at a Montreal bus station.
It's then when Capt. Saitta went to the bus depot, to check out what
was in the locker, he finds that it contained the blue necklace that
was on the photo. Capt Saitta starts to realize that the necklace may
be the reason for his sister's death. Saitta meets Margi about Louise's
tie-in with Terri, in regard to the necklace, and gets into an argument
with her over her brother Terri about why his sister would get involved
with someone "like him". Margi, defending her brother tells Saitta that
he shouldn't say anything bad about her dead brother when he knows so
little about his sweet and innocent little sister Louise. Checking out
all the leads about the mysterious blue necklace Saitta finds out that
the necklace was stolen from a rich society woman , Mrs. Wilkerson,
from Toronto who was savagely murdered some time ago.Saitta also finds
that whoever had the necklace was trying to fence it off for a huge
amount of cash but there were no takers the necklace was just too hot
to handle! So how did Louise come into possession of that necklace? It
now finally begins to dawn on Capt.Saitta that his sister was in some
way involved in that murder in Toronto of Mrs. Wilkerson. Great
thriller with a great and effective music score and top-notch acting
from Stuart Whitman on down makes "Strange shadows in an empty room"
head and shoulders above the many "Dirty Harry" imitations of it's day.
In fact it has a much deeper plot and far less violence then the "Dirty
Harry" films were noted for making it a much more effective film. With
the exception of the exciting chase scene, there was a far better one
later in the movie, and bank shoot-out at the beginning of the film I
counted five deaths in the entire movie and that included Louise Saitta
who was poisoned and another person who died of an apparent suicide off
camera. What makes "Strange shadows in an empty room" so effective is
that it not only makes you think while your watching the movie but also
long after it's over..
allamalik670 watch One Week movie
harry potter was also a exciting family fantasy movie watched over and over again!!!!.
Some movies you can watch ever and ever again. One of them is "Armagedon". What can we say about it!? That it is good, it is logical, it is sci-fi, it is powerfull? Everything - and much more..

Give me one more chase please!!!!!
There are 2 respected movies in the euro police movies that always
shine above all the other great ones, the first one is in Fernando De
Leo "La Mala Ordina", Part of his Milan trilogy films, with his extreme
and fast paced chase that never let go and just keeps on going till the
last brutal finish. The second one is blazing magnum's, which can be a
very good lesson to all the action directors out there planing to do a
one good chase sequence. There are 2 chases here, one in the beginning
which is short but very efficient , and the second at the end, which
you must see to believe, it got everything in it and more. I do urge
you, the fans of this type of cinema to grab Blazing Magnumes if only
for the chases that prove that you can do a bad acting movie with a
simple thriller script, that still got some hard hitting sequences that
shine overall. I can't finish without mentioning that the music is also
a masterpiece in itself and it is always there at the right moment. If
only Dark Sky/NoShame/Blue Underground or any other respected label
will do us a favor and release a collector edition DVD, that would be
fantastic!.
