Funny film noir, flimsy femme fatale, classy Powell keeps you interested

William Powell is always worth watching. The rest of TAKE ONE FALSE STEP is rather harder to appreciate, because logic is not its strongest suit. Freddie, the top villain, never shows his mug - makes no difference to the story, anyway.

Shelley Winters is clearly wasted in her role as potential femme fatale who seems ready to go with any man, Powell most of all, and turns out to be more suicidal than fatal. Other than her apparently nymphomaniacal tendencies, I still have no idea what crime she may have committed.

Direction and cinematography are OK, script has more holes than the proverbial Swiss cheese. Generally immediately forgettable - and yet, TAKE ONE FALSE STEP has its moments, especially when Prof Gentling (Powell) learns that he has been bitten by a possibly rabid dog.

I could not grasp why Prof Gentling kept deflecting comely, ready for action Winters' advances... his wife is played by the stunningly beautiful Dorothy Hart!

Quiz
At the 71 minute mark, Martha Wier (Marsha Hunt) and Helen Gentling (Dorothy Hart) are seen riding in a taxi in areas of the University of California Berkeley campus that are no longer open to regular automobile traffic. The taxi is first seen heading north through Sather Gate and across the bridge over Strawberry Creek. The taxi turns right, heading east in front of Wheeler Hall, and is then seen driving west, down the hill from the Campanile. Finally, the taxi stops in front of the "Boalt Hall of Law," which was the law school's home from 1911 to 1951, and which was renamed Durant Hall when the law school moved to a new location at the southeast corner of campus.
