Pitfall (1948)

Mediocre and forgettable film noir about a married insurance exec (Dick Powell) who gets involved with the girlfriend (Lizabeth Scott) of an embezzler (Byron Barr) who is the object of obsession for a P.I. (Raymond Burr), and that's the girlfriend he's obsessed with, not the embezzler, just clarifying. Weak, pointless, there is really no reason to bother with this movie. It's sad how quickly Miss Scott's career landed in the doldrums after a promising start in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. *
