Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Boomerang! (1947) is a Courtroom Drama / Docudrama directed by Elia Kazan, starring Dana Andrews, Jane Wyatt, and Lee J Cobb.The film takes place in Stamford, Connecticut, an average American town reeling from the grisly murder of a kind and popular priest. The police force, led by Chief Robinson (Cobb), have seven witnesses to the murder but not one clue to lead them to the killer. Facing public and media pressure, the police force scoops up a likely suspect, John Waldron (Arthur Kennedy), an ex-serviceman and vagrant with unlawful possession of a gun, and district attorney Henry Harvey (Andrews) assumes it's an easy conviction. But a deeper analysis of the facts makes this case more complicated than Harvey initially thought.Received an Academy Award nomination for Richard Murphy's screenplay.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the similarly named Eddie Murphy film. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis | |
| Boomerang! (1947) / int_73733868 | comment |
Awesomeness by Analysis: Harvey pokes holes in all the circumstantial evidence and makes a good enough case that there’s no trial, and John is able to go free. | |

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Averted in a way: Robinson isn’t a bad cop, but he does do some crooked things to get a conviction even when he has a bad feeling about it. | |
