Some alternative posters for Cry Danger (1951), along with what they used to call a lobby card - there are a few others on the film’s IMDb page too. #Noirvember #CryDanger 
Contrast the American posters with these two much racier French and Italian posters, both of which foreground Fleming. #Noirvember
This was great fun. Powell plays Rocky (it doesn’t suit him), an ex-con who gets out of jail after serving 5 years for a robbery he didn’t commit and goes after the gangster who framed him. Fleming plays the wife of Powell’s supposed partner in the robbery, who’s still in jail.
#BornthisDay June 20, 1911 #actress & #StyleIcon Gail Patrick. Known for movies eg My Favourite Wife 1940, Stage Door 1937, My Man Godfrey 1936, became TV producer later life responsible Perry Mason. Often cast as haughty other woman in movies- great style legacy as result!
