Director: MICHAEL GORDON. Screenplay: Oscar Saul. Adapted by Roy Huggins from a magazine serial by James R. Webb. Photography: William Daniels. Film editor: Milton Carruth. Music: Frank Skinner. Art directors: Bernie Herzbrun, Robert Clatworthy. Producer: Michel Kraike.
Copyright 17 March 1950 by Universal. New York opening at Criterion: 22 February. U.K. release: 27 February. Aust.: 27 October. 92 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Bride flees her murderous husband.
COMMENT: Photographed by master illusionist William Daniels in true film noir style (reflected even in the movie's still photos), Woman in Hiding is an oddly neglected little masterpiece. True, director Michael Gordon does not rate highly with current cineastes, but his thrillers are all worthy of attention and this one rates as his best. Action highs are staged in a most imaginative manner, and all the players come across brilliantly.
