    A review by John Chard

    Written by John Chard on Wed Jul 08 2015
    Give all to love obey thy heart. *** This Review Contains Minor Spoilers *** Shockproof is directed by Douglas Sirk and written by Samuel Fuller and Helen Deutsch. It stars Cornel Wilde, Patricia Knight, John Baragrey and Esther Minciotti. Music is by George Duning and cinematography by Charles Lawton Jr. When convicted murderess Jenny Marsh (Knight) is released into his care, parole officer Griff Marat (Wilde) literally finds his life being turned upside down... As many film noir lovers will attest too, there are a number of noir movies out there that frustrate with their endings...
