The Limping Man

Lloyd Bridges stars in this 1950’s film noir about an American returning to England after the war who becomes witness to a murder at the airport. Of course his gal pal is soon revealed as the prime suspect—with good reason, as we discover her connection with the dead man. This film was not terribly stylish but has its moments especially the magic show musical number and the plot had me until the very end. However, the ending ruined the movie for me. Major spoiler alert – It’s revealed that the entire movie was just a dream Bridges was having on the airplane ride to England. Terrible.
