It's brisk and pushes some boundaries. I remember the first time I saw it how appalled I was at the beating scene. You are right about Bendix being so good in the role! Good to know Ladd and Bendix were actually good friends.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952528487748234667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001384737868808902.post-10682442121375835772020-10-24T12:06:48.918-04:002020-10-24T12:06:48.918-04:00This is one of those films that I always make a me...This is one of those films that I always make a mental note under "Need to see."

I think you're probably right about what the "voters league" actually was, doublespeak for crooked political machine.

Paramount's treatment makes for dandy noir viewing.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
