OVERLOOKED FILM: DARK MOUNTAIN (1944)

Poor Kay Downey (Ellen Drew).  She did not realize that the man she married (Steve Downey, played by Regis Toomy) was a gangster.  When is implicated in a murder he committed, Kay turns to park ranger and former boyfriend Don Bradley (Robert Lowery) for help.  Also featuring Eddie Quillan and Elisha Cook, Jr.

A standard B-movie programmer.  Steve Lewis at mysteryfile.com said, "The film still needs some comedy mixed in with the suspense, which is minor to begin with" and that "the movie isn't as bad as I've probably made it sound."

Directed by William Berke, with a script by Maxwell Shane and story by Paul Franklin and Charles F. Royal.

Enjoy.  (I hope.)
