Pitfall (1948)

Bored and frustrated insurance investigator Dick Powell is tasked with recovering gifts given to Lizabeth Scott, the girlfriend of an embezzler serving time in jail. Discovering an attraction to Scott that brightens up his conventional life, he must contend with private investigator Raymond Burr who also has eyes for her. A fairly dull story with the actors mostly going through the motions with their performances, it gives a decent exploration of the middle class monotony in the post World War II years. The ending does not speak well of the treatment of the crimes depending on gender.
