The Hunted (1948)
Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A Noir Day

Warning: Spoilers
There's a plot to a story and then there's the what's-the-story-about aspect to a story. With The Hunted, it's is about the nature of relationships. Do I trust you? And if I don't trust you, why is it that I got a thing for you?

Johnny the cop (Preston Foster) doesn't trust Laura the figure skater (Belita) because he busted her for being a jewel thief even though she claimed she was innocent.

Laura gets out on parole and Johnny still has the hots for her even though she apparently would like to kill him for arresting her. Laura still has feelings for Johnny too. Yes, romantic relationships sure can be complicated.

I realized while watching The Hunted that I have a soft spot for actresses with one name who are also world class figure skaters. I grew up on a pond and enjoyed skating on it during the winter months. I used to think it would have been cool to go skating with Lynn Holly-Johnson but after seeing The Hunter, I think I would rather have Belita skate circles around me.
