FILM 2095: HOLLOW TRIUMPH (1948)

Pursued by the big-time gambler he robbed, John Muller assumes a new identity - with unfortunate results.

TRIVIA: The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

According to contemporary newspaper articles, Paul Henreid decided to produce this film himself, so that he could play a bad guy for once.

According to the audio commentary by Imogen Sara Smith, production was shut down for a day and restarted after Steve Sekely was removed from the picture for creative differences, with Paul Henreid taking over. Sekely retained director credit for contractual reasons.
