a unusual Joseph Kane movie
20 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The first time I saw this movie, I did not believe Joseph Kane was the director. Kane who has shot only westerns - and some adventures or war films - all over the years. I don't forget, of course, "Hoodlum Empire", a good thriller, neither "Notorious Mr Monks" and "Accused of murder".

But it was a good surprise for me. Mike Mazurki and Gerald Milton play interesting characters who remind William Conrad and Charles Mc Graw in the superb Robert Siodmak classic: "The Killers". Two hired killers who always "work" binomial, and take care of cats in their hotel room...And speaking of a duo of killers in search of a doll full of heroine, don't you remember Don Siegel's THE LINEUP? Strange isn't it? The Siegel's film was written by Stirling Siliphant and this one Richard Sarafian.

Rod Cameron play also perhaps the only character on non westerner of his career.

Vera Ralston is OF COURSE in the run. Republic Picture...

Not a great but good little thriller.
