The AVC encoded 1.37:1 HD presentation of 'Cover Up' delivers commendable detail in facial reactions, costumes, and set decoration, maintaining fine film grain throughout. While black levels are nicely dark in some scenes, contrast issues and occasional print damage detract slightly from the overall experience.

The 2.0 DTS-HD MA sound mix for 'Cover Up' provides clear dialogue and accurate musical scoring, though it requires volume adjustment and is prone to occasional hiss and dropouts. Despite lacking in imaging, it delivers a balanced auditory experience with fine mid-range performance.
Extra: 0
"The Blu-ray of 'Cover Up' lacks supplementary material, offering no extras to enhance the viewing experience."

1949’s 'Cover Up' is an intriguing noir with a unique premise featuring Dennis O'Keefe as a wily insurance investigator prying into an apparent small-town suicide, which reveals a complex murder mystery. Despite a gripping start, the film loses momentum post-revelation but remains a fun, albeit predictable, 82-minute ride with solid performances, particularly from O'Keefe and Bendix. Kino Lorber’s Blu-ray release offers clean menu navigation and classic poster art replicating the original theatrical release.
