The Scarf is a 1951 American thriller film noir directed by Ewald Andr Dupont and starring John Ireland, Mercedes McCambridge, James Barton and Emlyn Williams.
Film critic Bosley Crowther panned the film, For a picture so heavily loaded with lengthy and tedious talk, talk, talk, The Scarf, the new tenant at the Park Avenue, has depressingly little to say. As a matter of fact, it expresses, in several thousand words of dialogueand in a runningtime that amounts to just four minutes short of an hour and a halfperhaps the least measure of intelligence or dramatic continuity that you are likely to find in any picture, current or recent, that takes itself seriously.
