“Cameron” (Robert Mitchum) is a principled young doctor who is summoned to an emergency where he encounters “Margo” (Faith Domergue). She’s fairly unstable, mentally, and promptly escapes from the hospital but next day she invites him to her home. That’s just the start of what becomes a relationship they could result in marriage. That all depends on her wealthy father “Lannington” (Claude Rains) though, and he turns out to be one of those brutishly domineering characters who is quite content to have them wed, so long as he can create such a toxic impression of his daughter beforehand that any sensible man would run a mile. An altercation at his home now ensues and now the pair are faced with a choice. Call the cops or flee. They choose the latter and now we watch a series of near-miss escapades whilst we discover a little more of the unbalanced “Margo” and of her companion who is suffering the increasing effects of the earlier incident. It’s quite a tense story this one and there is an effective chemistry between Mitchum and Domergue as their journey forces both of them to face up to the demons that haunt them, as well as the more venal amongst the community who will happily profit
Read the whole review on TMDBAmour fou. Where Danger Lives is directed by John Farrow and written by Charles Bennett. It stars Robert Mitchum, Faith Domergue, Claude Rains and Maureen O'Sullivan. Music is by Roy Webb and cinematography by Nicholas Musuraca. Upon tending to attempted suicide victim Margo Lannington (Domergue), Dr. Jeff Cameron (Mitchum) falls in love with her and quickly finds his life spiralling out of control. Classic noir fable here, which begs the question on why is it not better known? More so when you consider it stars noir icon and legend Robert Mitchum? OK! Big Mitch never once convinces as a life saving doctor, but for a sad sap heavy eyed portrayal who you gonna call? Why Mitch of course. Thus the pic actually gets away with this odd bit of character casting, as it does the average performance from the otherwise lovely Domergue. Domergue was being pushed forward as Howard Hughes' latest siren of the screen, she would never attain great status, but she would grace many a "B" picture and become a cult fan favourite. Dr. Cameron has it all, a great job and a pretty nurse (O'Sullivan) who loves him very much, but one peer into the puppy dog eyes of Margo Lannington and he's in hook, line
