One of the early films by Method Actor's director Elia Kazan (A Streetcar Named Desire On the Waterfront) Boomerang! also marked one of the early American Hollywood entries into the Cannes Film Festival in 1947. Kazan's impactful noir drama stars a cast of stalwarts of the '40s and '50s hard-boiled streak and his own oeuvre including Dana Andrews Lee J. Cobb Jane Wyatt Arthur Kennedy and Karl Malden. When the murder of a piece results in a botched police investigation prosecutor Henry Harvey (Dana Andrews) leads an effort to bring the murderer to justice.... Once blackmail creeps into the investigation all bets on an unclouded trial are off resulting in an explosive finale that remains one of the toughest in Kazan's work. With its documentary-like treatment of the procedural and generally authentic portrayal of an exurban Connecticut town Kazan's film was a success at the time of its release and garnered awards from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of review for Kazan's direction.

Elia Kazan directs this classic film noir starring Dana Andrews and Jane Wyatt. When a well-known Catholic priest is murdered by a single gunshot to the head in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, conflicting witness accounts of the evening leave the police without a prime suspect. A week after the murder a shopkeeper is picked up by police for acting suspiciously. When the policeman searches the man at the station he finds a .32-caliber revolver on him, exactly the same kind of gun used to kill the priest. Would a humble trader really commit first-degree murder? It's left to State Attorney Henry Harvey (Andrews) to prove his innocence.
