Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Reckless Moment (1949) is a Film Noir directed by Max Ophuls, starring Joan Bennett and James Mason.Lucia Harper (Bennett) goes to great lengths to warn her daughter, Bea (Geraldine Brooks), about the danger of dating an older and obviously sleazy man. Ignoring her mother’s pleas, Bea goes to meet her boyfriend, Ted Darby (Shepperd Strudwick), but finds out that his scheming ways are true, so she hits him and runs away in shock.The next morning, Lucia finds him dead on the beach, so in an act of rash reasoning, she decides to take her boat and dump his body.Things aren’t quit so simple, however. Darby owed money to some “business” men. Martin Donnelly (Mason) is one of them and blackmails Lucia.This film is notable for being Max Ophuls' last American film. | |
