Humphrey Bogart and O.P. Heggie star in the story of a jury foreman who helps send a woman to the electric chair, only to later have his daughter kill her lover in a fit of passion. When she comes home and confesses her wrongdoing, her father must choose between telling the truth and risking his beloved daughter being sentenced for murder or trying to find some means of covering up for her. A visually interesting film, director Chester Erskine has fashioned MIDNIGHT (a.k.a.Call It Murder) after the German films of the 1920s. Digitally mastered from a mint-condition 35mm nitrate fine grain print.
