Anecdotes
There really was a Polar Palace Ice Rink in Los Angeles but it burned down in 1963.

On Laura's record, it lists her date of birth as 1927 and the date of her arrest as November 7, 1943. That would mean she was Johnny's girlfriend at age 16 or even 15, but her age is listed as 20 on the card - which would make it 1947 (the year this film was made). And, if she was 15 or 16 at the time of her crime, she wouldn't have been sent to the women's prison at Tehachapi.

Great noir dialog...and a very disappointing ending.

"The Hunted" starts off very well and showed tons of promise as a film noir picture. However, by the time it ends, I found myself incredibly disappointed.....as the movie seemed afraid to really allow itself to be tough and cynical like most noir pictures. Plus, the happy ending just seemed stupid and like a wimp out!

This movie stars Belita, a one-namer who was a skating star and appeared in just a few movies. Much of it might be because although she IS pretty, she's not traditionally pretty and her looks are a tad tough...which is a plus for noir. It seems that Laura Mead (Belita) just got out of prison, where she'd been for four years after being convicted of robbery. However, to complicate things, her old boyfriend, the Lieutenant (Preston Foster), is the man who arrested her! Now that she's out, he is interested in re-starting their relationship...though he's not sure if she can be trusted. See the movie to find out the answer.

Belita was excellent--mostly because they gave her some amazingly snappy dialog. But the ending....it was as if they'd lost the ending and just EXPLAINED the ending...a terrible way to wrap up any film. Plus, the upbeat ending just didn't seem to fit...hence me score of only 6. I really wanted to like this movie more than I did.
