Trailer Unavailable













     Destination Murder
1950  NR  DRAMA  1h 12min
CAST— Joyce Mackenzie, Stanley Clements
MUSIC— Irving Gertz, James Springs, Steve Gibson  DIRECTOR— Edward L. Cahn

     Here lies an example of a film that should never have been. Search no more for a cure for insomnia. Nothing noteworthy lies within the celluloid confines of this less than classic mishmash of so-called film. The daughter of a murdered man sets out to solve the case by mixing with the killers themselves. First she dates the gunman, then she winds up in the club operated by the masterminds behind the crime, one of which annoyingly keeps referring to himself in the third person, “Armitage”. Even though it runs under eighty minutes, it seems to drag on thrice as long. There just isn’t anything to recommend this film, not even unintentional comedy. There are worse films out there, but why waste your time with this one?
