It has a happy ending. It always has. They fall in love, they get married. This one ends when they fall in love. Yeah? That's what it says. Read it. Alright. DESERT FURY (1947) dir. Lewis Allen

“Cinderella with a husky voice”: sultry, smoky-eyed and ash blonde Lizabeth Scott (née Emma Matzo, 29 September 1922 - 31 January 2015) was born on this day 101 years ago. Possessor of “a voice that sounded as if it had been buried somewhere deep and was trying to claw its way out”, the underrated Scott was the most haunting and enigmatic of forties and fifties film noir actresses. (For many years, she was bedeviled by unfavourable comparisons to her doppelganger, the more famous Lauren Bacall). I’ve screened three of Scott’s films at the Lobotomy Room film club so far (Too Late for Tears (1949), Desert Fury (1947) and Pitfall (1948)) and it’s been gratifying to see audiences fall under her spell. I’d argue Scott is the last great “undiscovered” golden age Hollywood star (shamefully, The British Film Institute has never done a season of her films). Scott was famously reclusive in her later years, rarely granted interviews and her private life is shrouded in mystery. Author and filmmaker Todd Hughes’ 2022 memoir Lunch with Lizabeth – in which he affectionately recalls his friendship with the prickly and complicated Scott - does much to crack the enigma. Pictured: Scott in the 1951 film Two of a Kind.

Desert Fury (Lewis Allen, 1947)
Not entirely convinced of this. Packaged in every noir, melodramatic and subtextual way to suggest i should love it, but there's a hollowness inside. It feels repressed. Whether the effects of shrinking down a novel to movie size, movie permissibility or the capacity of cast and crew to carry it, it's all an underdeveloped, rigid affair that couldn't stir much in me. The characters seem aware of this repression, expressing themselves through grit teeth. Hardboiledness, tear apart turmoil, homosexuality, all an inner scream they're unable to release. Maybe that's the point.
