Cornered

Cornered is a 1945 film noir starring Dick Powell, directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Adrian Scott. This is the second teaming of Powell and Dmytryk (after Murder, My Sweet). Many scenes shot by cinematographer Harry J. Wild and Dmytryk stand out as classic film noir - such as one where Powell is walking through the streets of Buenos Aires in search of Jarnac's hideout, with dark shadows obscuring his path. Screenplay by John Paxton with uncredited help from Ben Hecht.
