Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Don't Underestmate Nerds!
TENSION is an "okay" little movie---I like it least of the 3 films under discussion but that has more to do with the actors in it than with the movie itself. Audrey Totter is the "femme fatale" here. She is married to Richard Basehart who begins the film as a submissive weakling but, as the movie progresses, he finds his "cajones" and becomes much more assertive(after making some changes in his personal appearance that the viewer kind of has to "accept" although, again, credulity is strained somewhat). ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Femmes Fatales........but not alike
Totter is a totally rational femme fatale, whereas Domergue is not all there. She shoots from the hip......Totter coldly calculates which makes her much more interesting. Both movies are well worth watching, but Tension I like to see again and again. Totter is just so deliciously bad.

Both are a must for film noir fans.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - When a bad dame goes really bad, it's really good when Audrey Totter plays her
Neither of these noir films is world class, but Tension has interest because of Basehart and Totter.

Tension (1949):
Sneers Claire Quimby to her milquetoast husband, Warren, "I've got what I'm looking for and I'm gonna grab it while I've got the chance...a real man. There's nothing to talk about. It was different in San Diego -- you were kind of cute in your uniform. You were full of laughs then. Well, you're all laughed out now." Is this a noir dame or not? Is this Audrey Totter or not? ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Two Very Different Femmes Fatales: One Crazy & One Pulpy, but Equally Entertaining.
"Where Danger Lives" and "Tension" were both released in 1950 with archetypal femme fatale scenarios. "Where Danger Lives" was made at RKO during Howard Hughes' tenure. It is a more expensive film, with A-list star Robert Mitchum and an upscale femme fatale, while "Tension" was made at MGM with very middle class characters and a middle budget.. "Where Danger Lives" also qualifies as a "fugitive couple" film and "Tension" has a "wrongly accused" subplot, so there are a lot of noir staples packed into these two ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 2 films released by RKO and MGM, distributed by WB!!
WHERE DANGER LIVES: Although, this storyline is full of twists and turns, it fails to arouse any interest whatsoever. The wonderful actor, Claude Rains is in it as Faith Domergues Husband, but only appears 20 minutes in, and dies 28 minutes in.Like I said before, the story fails to interest me. The Film picture quality has been restored wonderfully, and the Documentary is insightful and interesting.
TENSION: This film is very engaging, and I enjoyed it alot!!The documentary is good, and the picture quality ... Read More
