Description by OLDIES.com:
1942's Unforgotten Crime, originally released as The Affairs of Jimmy Valentine, stars Brewster's Millions star Dennis O'Keefe and features effective film-noir cinematography by John Alton. Director Bernard Vorhaus would team up with Alton again in Bury Me Dead (1947) and The Spiritualist (1948).

Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 4 ratings.
Like "Bury Me Dead" (1946), which was another collaboration of Director Bernard Vorhaus and cinematographer John Alton, this is an uneasy mixture of comedy and film noir, two genres that are positively incompatible. The dark, scary moments still look very good, but overall the story doesn't hang together well. Having the movie cut from 72 to 53 minutes for U.S. release makes for some problems in continuity. A basic incongruity is that cynical operator Dennis O'Keefe and wide-eyed innocent Ruth Terry shouldn't end up with each other at the end, but they do. By all rights, O'Keefe should go off with fellow huckster Gloria Dickson. Best performance is by George Stone, who is surprisingly sympathetic considering the role he plays in this story (Sorry, no spoilers!)
