Description
by Theodore Strauss (Author), Curtis Evans (Introduction by)
Danny didn't mean to kill Jerry. He didn't even want to fight him. But once Jerry gets a few drinks in him, he has to prove how tough he is. It had always been like that, ever since they were kids. Jerry had always played the bully. When Jerry tells Danny he isn't good enough for Gilly, he lets it go as usual. But when Jerry makes a crack about his father, asking him how it feels to drop six feet at the end of a rope, something just snaps in Danny.
Danny hides the body but he can't hide from himself. He feels everyone's eyes on him, feels the pointing fingers of guilt. Even though Gilly is now going out with him, he can't be himself with her. He will always be the son of a killer-and now a killer himself. Then comes the night when the coon hunt turns up Jerry's corpse, and Danny can't hide from himself any longer.
This is the ninth in a popular new series of Film Noir Classics from Stark House Press. Moonrise was filmed in 1948 by Frank Borzage and starred Dane Clark and Gail Russell.
