The Bunker Hill locations, Dick Powell and the dialogue really elevate a solid but unspectacular plot. There's a very liberated feel here for a movie shot in '50 or '51 that I didn't pick up on my initial view years ago. There's a great wide shot of cops and criminals exchanging gun fire on location, plus some Russian roulette thrown in there. Not too shabby for '51. The Olive bluray is very nice and would have to be on the verge of going out of print at some point. A-

I agree with everything you said, but . . . how can you skip mentioning Richard Erdman?

I was going to say the same thing as soon as I saw T.H.'s post. But I figured I'd let dj have the honors, as he is chairman of the Richard Erdman Fan Club, and I knew it wouldn't be long before he jumped in. It wasn't ....

There are three types of people in the world, my friend: those who can add, and those who can't.

Darlene: You drinkin' that stuff so early?

Delong: Listen, doll girl, when you drink as much as I do, you gotta start early.

Yeah, definitely an oversight on my part.

Claudia, we need you to appear in LOST COMMAND. It's gonna revolutionize the war genre..
