Chain Lightning, with Humphrey Bogart in the lead is an odd piece of 1950 (or 1949) entertainment.
Directed by Stuart Heisler with Ernest Haller behind the camera, one would hope it to be better, but it's B quality Bogart.
Finished by the fall of 1949, it was held back for six months. Why is a question I'm unable to definitively answer, but one thing for certain. It ended a long and prosperous relationship between Mr. Bogart and Warners.
Warner Archive's new Blu-ray is lovely in all regards. Nary a problem win sight.
I just wish I could recommend the film. I'd put it in the category of "for aircraft fans, or Bogart completists only."
