<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Dismissed
upon its release by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The New York Times</i>
as “another tired little crime melodrama,” and virtually forgotten today, this
blunt excursion into crime and punishment wears its B-movie pedigree with
pride. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Finger Man</i> is an early example
of the “one man against the mob” sub-genre, depicting a pitiless world in which
violence is likely to be emotional as well as physical, and inwardly as well as
outwardly directed. It may not be the most flamboyant gangster film of the
fifties, but its harsh narrative and compellingly flawed characters make it one
of the most satisfying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">It’s
the day before Christmas, and crime partners Casey Martin (Frank Lovejoy) and Lefty
Stern (Lewis Charles) await on a stretch of country road their pre-dawn present—a
ripe-for-hijacking truck loaded with booze. No sweat for these pros: Casey
stops the truck at gunpoint, Lefty pistol-whips the driver unconscious. But Casey,
just released from prison, is rusty and sloppy. He not only lets the driver see
his face, he also discards an empty pack of cigarettes smeared with his
fingerprints. Sure enough, the law comes calling later in the day as he unwinds
at a local piano bar. Not regular law, but Treasury Department agents, who haul
Casey downtown to meet their boss, a hardcase named Burns. Casey feigns
innocence, but Burns produces the concussed truck driver to make a positive ID,
and the incriminating cigarette pack—the aptly named Pickerel brand, as Casey
is well and truly hooked. A three-time loser, he now faces the rest of his days
behind bars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">But
Burns dangles an out, albeit a dangerous and, from an underworld perspective,
dishonorable one: If Casey agrees to infiltrate the bootlegging/gambling/prostitution
syndicate run by Dutch Becker (Forrest Tucker) and uncover evidence that will
put the mobster away, he can walk—assuming he doesn’t get killed in the process.
Turning stool pigeon is a bitter pill for Casey to swallow, but Burns has him
boxed in. Casey finds additional motivation when he learns that his sister Lucille,
whom he hasn’t seen in years, used to turn tricks for Dutch until the customers
stopped buying her wares. Kicked to the curb by the callous crime boss, she’s
become a suicidal alcoholic saddled with an illegitimate young daughter she is
unable to care for. Personal animus is now added to Casey’s sense of self-preservation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;">Leveraging
his standing in the underworld, Casey schemes an introduction to Dutch
through another former syndicate prostitute, Lefty’s girlfriend Gladys Baker
(Peggie Castle). Casey plays it cagey with the mobster, copping an attitude and
playing hard to get. Dutch is intrigued by Casey’s reputation as a talented
independent, but wary of the sizeable chip on his shoulder. He especially
doesn’t approve of Casey’s violent antipathy towards Lou Terpe (Timothy Carey),
Dutch’s bodyguard-cum-torpedo with whom Casey once shared a prison cell. Says
Dutch, “Spirit I like. Trouble I don’t like. If you’re gonna work for me
there’s one thing you gotta learn. There’s no percentage in us fighting among
ourselves….I’m a very mild man, Casey. Violence I don’t like, unless it’s
necessary.”</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Violence,
of course, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i> necessary to deal with
internal and external threats to the syndicate. Whether it’s a greedy
prostitute cutting into the take or an undercover cop caught snooping, Dutch’s
retribution—meted out by Terpe and fellow payroll killers Carlos and Walters—is
swift and merciless. Casey takes note as he worms his way into Dutch’s
confidence, treading a fine line between antagonizing Terpe at every
opportunity and making a show of fealty to his new employer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the same time, he lets himself become emotionally involved with Gladys; their

recognizes in the other a kindred spirit, Casey remarking: “You never got a
break, I never asked for one.” Circumstances cast a pall over their affair,
however, and neither one is particularly optimistic about the future. Their
instincts prove correct, for both, in different ways, will pay dearly for
challenging Dutch’s dark empire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the state of Crimedom, and out come everyone’s guns in a blazing finale. When

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Although
informing is the narrative fulcrum of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Finger
Man</i>, it doesn’t dwell overtly on issues of guilt and betrayal, unlike, say,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">On the Waterfront</i> (1954), in which
the stool pigeon thematic was at the heart of the film. Casey internalizes rather
than externalizes whatever moral conflict rages in his heart of darkness. But he
isn’t the only transgressor against an underworld code. Dutch is also revealed
as a serial backstabber. He reminds his underlings that he requires
complete honesty and loyalty, yet he doesn’t hesitate to discard those who have
outlived their usefulness to him—like Casey’s sister. “I own men and women,
Casey,” he says at one point. “All over the country, I own ’em. Some of ’em
like to gamble, some of them like to drink, but I own ’em, body and soul.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">However,
a contrast of sorts <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i> drawn between
the two. Dutch’s betrayals are professional, not personal. He acts simply from
an objective need to ensure the syndicate’s survival. Casey is also a
pragmatist, but he’s much more emotional in that he allows personal revenge to
become his prime motivation to take Dutch down. What’s interesting is that Casey’s
ostensibly more humane impetus doesn’t position him within the narrative as a
more sympathetic figure than the mobster. Casey may tell himself that he’s
acting on behalf of his sister and his gal, yet he neglected the former when
she was losing her battle with the bottle, and he selfishly takes Gladys’
affections for granted. His sexism is pronounced and off-putting, even by
mid-fifties standards. It’s a sign of Gladys’ resigned cynicism and despair
that she puts up with Casey’s insensitive treatment. A case could be made that
Dutch—who genuinely likes Casey and who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">can</i>
be loyal in his own fashion—is more deserving of empathy, if not admiration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

creative architects of these intriguing dynamics are director Harold D.
Schuster and screenwriter Warren Douglas, dependable craftsmen who were comfortable
in any genre. Schuster was an editor for a ten years before turning to
directing in 1937. His camera expertise, flair for visual rhythm and skillful
direction of actors helped him create tight, gritty crime films like </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Loophole</i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;"> (1954) and </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Portland Expose</i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;"> (1957).

milieu, having written </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Loophole</i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;"> and
another great noir, </span><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Cry Vengeance</i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;">
(1954). He was also an actor, and drew upon that experience to craft
naturalistic, layered dialog.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;">While
there’s nothing expressionistic about Schuster’s use of the camera, his visual
conceptions often prove effective, as when he deftly contrasts and links two
crucial scenes that find Casey the reluctant center of attention. The first
occurs during his briefing at the Treasury Department, where he’s surrounded by
a group of taciturn lawmen in Burns’ office. It’s a cordial meeting, but the
way Schuster groups the men around Casey in the tight, constricted space lends
the scene an uneasy undertone, and speaks to the separation between those who
uphold the law and those who break it. This scene foreshadows one later in the
film when Casey meets Dutch at the mob’s warehouse. Once again, he finds
himself encircled by a handful of unsmiling men, only this time they’re
pointing guns at him, a reflection of Dutch’s encroaching mistrust. The gulf
this time is between those who uphold the code of the underworld and those who
would transgress it. Schuster’s subtle staging underscores the fact that
Casey isn’t welcome among either the good guys or the bad guys.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;">Another
thematic linkage occurs when Candy, one of Dutch’s play-for-pay girls, is
brought to his office after being caught with her hand in the syndicate till.
She pleads innocence, but Dutch isn’t buying. He orders Terpe to take her off
the payroll, and for good measure adds, “Better muss her face up a little bit
so she can’t work anyplace.” Terpe, whose repulsive appearance and brutish
manner ensure that no sane woman will sleep with him—and whose previous advances
to Candy were arrogantly rebuffed—is only too happy to carry out the order.
Grabbing a handful of Candy’s peroxide hairdo, he drags her into the next room
and, as her terrified screams attest, sublimates his sexual frustration through
a more unpleasant form of physical interaction.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">No
sooner has Candy exited than a new B-girl wannabe is ushered into Dutch’s
presence, introduced as Mary Smith from Akron, Ohio and claiming to be 21.
Dutch clearly understands that she’s much younger, but he’s gentle and polite
with the nervous girl as he openly sizes up her moneymaking attributes. Mary is
excited by the prospect of what she imagines to be a glamorous, big city
lifestyle, but probably doesn’t realize the full implications of this
particular career path, or the possibility that she may one day end up in a
situation similar to Candy’s. It’s a beautifully understated scene that
chillingly delineates the sexual commodification of women, and also hints at
the codependency that can exist between exploiter and exploited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Finger Man</i><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 150%;"> is filled with such nuanced yet revealing vignettes, as when Gladys
confesses her feelings for Casey while sitting next to him in his local bar as
he plays piano for the indifferent patrons. (“Paderewski” one wag derisively
dubs him.) As they talk, “Oh, Come All Ye Faithful” suddenly blares from the
jukebox, drowning out Casey’s tune. Gladys watches, perplexed, as Casey angrily
unplugs the machine and storms out of the bar. Cleary unsettled by this reveal
of his psyche, she plays a few notes of the same Christmas carol before swiping
the keys discordantly as the scene fades out. From her expression it’s obvious
she long ago abandoned dreams of Prince Charming.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Schuster
stages the savage with equal aplomb. When the treasury agent tailing Casey
calls in his report from the phone booth in Dutch’s club, he doesn’t realize
Carlos is listening on a party line a short distance away. Dutch is instantly
informed and instantly issues orders. In the very next shot we see Dutch’s
goons dragging the bruised and bloody fed down a dark street, then throwing him
under the wheels of an oncoming truck. Schuster cuts to a POV shot to emphasize
the visceral effect of the four-wheeled juggernaut without showing any of the
gore, letting viewers conjure the horrific outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">While
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Finger Man</i> belongs to the less-is-more
school of screen mayhem, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">threat</i>
of violence is ever present in its settings and characters. The focus is
clearly on the latter—how they size each other up, play their angles, run their
schemes, dole out punishment, receive comeuppance. That’s as it should be,
since it’s the performances that really distinguish this film. Frank Lovejoy,
his name notwithstanding, made a career of playing hard-boiled characters, but
he was never harder or more unlikeable than as the porcupine-prickly Casey—surly,
sensitive to criticism and liable to fly off the handle at the slightest
provocation, real or imagined. His antipathy to Terpe is almost psychotic. Even
with Gladys, he’s tender one moment, sociopathically domineering the
next. Lovejoy invests Casey with just enough humanity to keep the audience more
or less on his side, but it’s a close call.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">As
usual, it’s the bad guys who flash the most charisma. Forrest Tucker’s imposing
build and looks made him a natural for playing heavies, but he was a more
sophisticated actor than he was generally given credit for. He plays Dutch soft-spokenly while leaving no doubt of his essentially ruthless nature. There
are more baroque mob bosses in fifties films, but few as intimidating. He was
similarly impressive in another underworld film <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hoodlum Empire</i> (1952), but more frequently appeared in westerns. Intriguingly,
Tucker shared the same name as a notorious real-life criminal and escape artist
who was active during the actor’s lifetime. Art imitating life, or vice-versa?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Also
making his presence felt is Timothy Carey, whose persona was so outsize and outré
it not only upstaged fellow actors, but entire films. Even when Carey
is doing nothing, his unsettling facial tics, death’s head grimace and strangled
utterance of even innocuous lines communicate otherworldly malevolence. As Lou Terpe (the very name evokes something rotten), he’s Dutch’s
attack dog—snarling at everyone around him, pawing at women, his bite always
ready to back up his bark. No wonder Dutch keeps him on a short leash. He even
whimpers like a dog when Casey nearly beats him to death. But even a rabid dog
that has to be put down engenders more sympathy. We never see Terpe interact
with his fellow hoodlums; he’s a pariah even within his peer group. Schuster
underlines this in a nightclub scene by isolating Terpe at a table apart from
Dutch and his entourage. Carey’s feral performance in this film caught the
attention of the up-and-coming Stanley Kubrick, who created another memorably
twisted role for the actor in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Killing</i>
(1956).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Other
standouts include Evelyn Eaton as Casey’s soused sister, who evokes in a couple
of brief scenes a state of complete moral, physical and emotional collapse. And
then there is B-movie bad girl Peggie Castle—unfairly dubbed “the poor man’s
Claire Trevor”—who had few peers at playing sexually dangerous women who were
usually killed off before the final reel, as in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I, the Jury</i> (1953) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">99
River Street</i> (1953). Gladys Baker is arguably her richest incarnation of
this luckless noir trope. She’s no femme fatale, just an unsentimental romantic
who’s been around the block enough times to realize that harboring dreams of a
happy ending is a luxury she can’t afford. Like most of the film’s luckless
ones, she eventually finds herself trapped in the shadows where the bad things
run wild.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">As
terse as its title and meaner than a junkyard dog, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Crashout</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"> is a tough and unrelenting crime film that has a lot more
on its mind than its formulaic narrative might suggest. On a literal level the
story of six convicts who bust out of a maximum-security prison and embark on a
perilous journey to recover stolen loot, </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Crashout</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">
also explores how several of those cons—as well as law-abiding citizens unfortunate
enough to cross their path—grapple with social and psychological shackles that
prove just as confining as a stretch in stir. In keeping with the film’s
unapologetically bleak tone, there are no happy endings for anyone.</span><br />

march single-file in the yard below, seemingly resigned to the impossibility
of escape. But it turns out the inmates are just playing possum, for suddenly
all hell breaks loose: Sirens blare, desperate men storm the walls and prison
guards begin to gun them down like fish in a barrel</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />

the opening credits appear, a Godard-like jump cut (years before </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Breathless</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">) takes us outside the prison,
where a succession of dynamic panning shots introduce the lead characters
fleeing through the nearby woods to the accompaniment of deadly machine gun
fire. They’re a rich assortment of scuzzballs: Van Duff: bank robber, murderer
and the escapees’ unchallenged leader. Joe Quinn, embittered embezzler. Pete
Mendoza, convicted murderer and sex fiend. Luther “Swanee” Remsen, murderer and
religious psycho. Maynard “Monk” Collins, another murderer. Billy Lang, the
youngest, serving time for accidentally killing a man, but heading down the
same irremediable road as the others. (They’re played respectively by William
Bendix, Arthur Kennedy, Luther Adler, William Talman, Gene Evans and Marshall
Thompson.) They mostly hate each other’s guts, banding together for
strength in numbers rather than out of friendship or loyalty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">All six eventually reach an abandoned mine shaft that will serve as their hideout, but not before Duff takes a bullet and has to play dead for several hours for the benefit of the trigger-happy search party. The convicts are forced to remain there until the manhunt moves elsewhere, which affords plenty of time for mutual antipathies to devolve into internecine squabbles that don’t bode well for their chances. All that binds them is the prospect of sharing in the $180,000 that Duff stashed after his last bank robbery, and which he can recover only with their help.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">When not sniping at one another, they take out their frustrations and resentments on regular folks, like the country doctor they kidnap to dress Duff’s wound—an act of Hippocratic honor for which Duff pays him back most dishonorably. Or the patrons at a roadside tavern, whom the fugitives terrorize while stealing their clothes, valuables and dignity, with Duff slapping down anyone who questions his authority. Not to mention an unlucky cop who shows up just as the cons are about to leave, and pays for his bad timing by being on the wrong end of vehicular manslaughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Their collective mayhem serves inevitably to infuriate the police, and the ranks of the dirty half-dozen are gradually (and graphically) depleted as the manhunt intensifies. Death arrives in various guises—a dying cop’s bullet, a treacherous convict’s knife, a kerosene lamp that turns of their number into a human torch. After commandeering a farm inhabited by an unmarried mother and lying low for a couple of days—while their situation becomes even more complicated and fraught with danger—the survivors eventually make their way to the mountaintop where Duff cached the money. In the midst of a blinding snowstorm, greed, paranoia and betrayal flare up with a vengeance, ensuring that only one of the criminals will walk away unscathed, physically if not psychologically.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"><i>Crashout</i> is a remarkable film
on many levels, not least for its pitch-black tone and its utter refusal to
either justify or condemn the actions of its lead characters, even as it
acknowledges the moral gradations among them. Their depredations are all the
more shocking and credible for their offhand depiction—each act of violence is
staged with startling abruptness, but never lingered upon longer than necessary
to make its impact. Indeed, the most gruesome murder takes place offscreen, to
the sounds of a hapless victim’s squeals for mercy followed by the thwack of
blunt-force trauma. The convicts’ feral natures lend a disturbing edge even to
the <i>threat</i> of violence, as when they
hold knives and broken bottles to the throats of terrified roadhouse patrons to
ensure their silence. The harsh mood is mitigated only occasionally by a touch
of sardonic humor—viz. the wanted posters superimposed on the screen each time
one of the escapees is killed, with the word “deceased” stamped mockingly across it.</span><br />

notable is the recurrent sense of entrapment, both literal and figurative,
that dogs every step of the convicts’ journey. This is evoked most explicitly
in the protracted sequence in the mine shaft; forced to endure the
claustrophobic and miserable conditions, with little to do but bicker and quarrel
among themselves, the escaped men might just as well be back in their cells. The
feeling of being hemmed in is sustained in the diner where they hold the patrons
hostage, but must themselves hide when a pair of motorcycle cops drop in; in the cramped confines of the train they board to avoid police roadblocks; in a remote farmhouse they commandeer where every outsider represents a threat. Each setting and
circumstance helps to undermine the convicts’ fragile unanimity and
contributes to their attrition.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Two
of the men, Billy Lang and Joe Quinn, have chance meetings with women who have the potential to help them to redirect their destinies. Lang’s occurs during the train
journey, when he finds himself seated next to a girl his age who senses in him
a kindred spirit. She relates her shame at having to return to her hometown after failing
to achieve her dream of becoming a singer. Like Lang, she faces a future with
few options, but any unspoken hopes the budding couple might have to make a
fresh start are brutally snuffed out by Duff and the others when Lang tries to
sneak away from them in the dark.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Quinn’s
shot at redemption manifests in the person of Alice Mosher (Beverly Michaels), who
has been ostracized by her community for having a child out of wedlock. While
the fugitives keep her captive while hiding out at her farm, she and Quinn unburden their life stories—and
their attraction—to each other. “You’re on the run yourself, same as me,” Quinn
tells her. But while Alice feels equally as alienated from society as Quinn,
she can never accept him unless he renounces his unlawful way of life. Among
the elder cons, Quinn is the least degenerate and un-salvageable. But his
stubborn insistence on grabbing a slice of Duff’s dirty money doesn’t
accord with Alice’s straight-and-narrow conception of happily ever after. These
brief encounters offer the only respite from the moral darkness that otherwise
dominates the film.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Although
the screenplay is credited to director Lewis R. Foster and Hal E. Chester, its
uncompromising tone is likely due in part to the uncredited contribution of
blacklisted writer/director Cy Endfield, whose films—including <i>The Sound of Fury</i> (1950) and <i>Hell Drivers</i> (1957)—typically feature morally
dubious, unsympathetic protagonists who don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of
them. The bleak atmosphere is well sustained by Foster, an otherwise journeyman
director, albeit one with an Academy Award on his resume (best original story
for 1939’s <i>Mr. Smith Goes to Washington</i>).
Foster handles the action scenes with authority and some inventiveness and
keeps the film moving at a cracking pace. He also knows when to throttle back
during quieter scenes to explore the characters’ motivations, fears and desires.
He elicits uniformly powerful yet restrained performances from the first-rate
cast. Bendix’s cold-blooded Duff is the polar opposite of the lovable lunkhead he
played in television’s <i>The Life of Riley</i>,
then in the midst of its five-year run. His thoroughgoing malevolence
contributes mightily to the film’s dark, nihilistic tone. Kennedy demonstrates
his considerable range as the conflicted Quinn, and is matched beat for beat by
the underrated Michaels as the lonely, unwed mother. Adler provides creepy
comic relief as the oversexed Mendoza, while Talman incarnates the kind of
gloriously unhinged character he did so well in <i>The Hitch-Hiker</i> (1953) and <i>Big
House, U.S.A.</i> (1955).</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Foster
conjures more than a few visual frissons, ably abetted by cinematographer Russell
Metty, who lends <i>Crashout</i> greyish,
grungy visuals to match its hard-edged narrative. There’s an indelible scene early in the film in
which Duff plays dead after being shot during the escape. Forced to lie
motionless in the dirt as a furious search party swarms the area, he gazes with
unblinking zombie eyes at dozens of ants swarming across his bloody hand.
Foster holds the shot for a beat or two, evoking a surreal resonance that
recalls the ant-infested hand in Luis Bunuel’s <i>Un Chien Andalou</i> (1929) and prefigures the moment in Jean-Pierre
Melville’s <i>Le Deuxieme Souffle</i> (1966)
when a gang member lying in wait to knock over a payroll truck stares with existential fatalism at a mass of ants scurrying at his feet.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">Another
oddly intense scene occurs in the mine shaft when the mentally unbalanced
Swanee, fearing that Duff (“a sinner”) is about to expire, “baptizes” him in a
dank pool of water, holding Duff's head under for an uncomfortably long minute as he silently
intones a prayer, until finally raising the nearly dead man Lazarus-like out
of the water. The other men temporarily suspend their cynicism in the face of
Swanee’s Biblical conviction. Foster films this with all the gravitas of an
actual religious ceremony. The irony, intended or not, is palpable.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
entire roadhouse sequence plays like a mini home-invasion movie—a la <i>The Desperate Hours</i>, also released in
1955—but with a much rougher tone, as the characters in <i>Crashout</i> embody a truly inimical and intimidating presence.
Particularly startling is the moment when the sexually predacious Mendoza
forcibly fondles and kisses a pretty young girl as her milquetoast boyfriend
helplessly watches. Although it’s just a kiss, it’s delivered with such naked
lust and brutality that it evokes a sense of violation more unsettling than any
physical violence his cohorts mete out. Mendoza then compounds the offense by
passing the girl to the equally loathsome Swanee, who conveniently foregoes his
religious zeal for a stolen sexual thrill.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And
it’s Swanee who invests the film’s climax with a suitably lunatic touch. Having
consistently carried out Duff’s commands like an obedient cur, he finally
rebels when he discerns his master’s true nature, delivering a messianic screed
worthy of the thirties’ Father Coughlin as if seeking his own perverse
martyrdom. One can ascribe a quasi-religious interpretation to the resulting
denouement as the last two convicts recover Duff’s stolen stash and inevitably,
fatally fall out over its ownership. Yet the last man standing, isolated in a remarkable long shot amidst
the vast frozen terrain, ultimately rejects the money that precipitated the
escapees' collective odyssey of violence and terror.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The use of snow as cleansing metaphor recalls the ending of <i>On Dangerous Ground</i> (1951), in which Robert Ryan's brutal cop reclaims a measure of his misplaced humanity in another snow-covered landscape. But whereas Ryan’s character could look forward to a new lease on life, no such surcease is granted to <i>Crashout</i>’s sole survivor. Descending the mountaintop, he can hear the sounds of approaching policemen, and must surely realize the unavoidable judgment awaiting him, whether its execution will be immediate or only slightly deferred.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hollywood’s
penchant for strip-mining classic TV shows as fodder for feature films has been
commonplace for decades, but back in 1958 the practice was anything but common.
In fact, you can count on one hand the number of small-screen to big-screen
transitions during that decade. Jack Webb led the way with the 1954 film <i>Dragnet</i>, the first theatrical movie
adapted from a successful TV series, as well as the first film to be released
while the original show was still on the air. But while <i>Dragnet</i> the series was a darkly entertaining slice of minimalist
noir, <i>Dragnet</i> the film was just a drag.</span></span></div>

<!--StartFragment--><i>The Lineup</i>
(1958) was a cinematic perp of a much different stripe. It originated as a CBS
radio drama centered on a pair of San Francisco detectives that aired from 1950
to 1953 before spinning off into television in 1954. Although overshadowed by
Webb’s iconic series, <i>The Lineup</i>’s
gritty atmosphere and taut storytelling earned high ratings throughout its
six-season run, and its San Francisco setting made it a forerunner to the likes
of <i>Bullitt</i> (1968), <i>Dirty Harry</i> (1971) and other Bay Area
crime films and TV shows. Warner Anderson as Lt. Ben Guthrie and Tom Tully as
Inspector Matt Grebb were the stolid leads who inevitably collared the bad guys
at the conclusion of each episode. (Emile Meyer as Inspector Al Quine replaced
Tully’s character in the film.) Nothing in the by-the-numbers plots or generic subject
matter gave rise to any doubts about the stability of the existing social order
or the middle-class assumptions of its viewing audience.<!--EndFragment--></span></span></div>

<!--StartFragment-->But
when Columbia Pictures adapted the program into a feature film, the result was
a far edgier beast, thanks to ace action director Don Siegel (who helmed the
series’ pilot episode) and screenwriter Stirling Silliphant, not yet the
household name he would become for the iconic television series <i>Route 66</i> and films like <i>In the Heat of the Night</i> (1967), but
already a seasoned writer with an out-of-left-field sensibility. Producers
Frank Cooper and Jaime Del Valle had no such artistic aspirations, expecting
merely a faithful facsimile of the series focused on the two police inspectors.
Siegel, whose best films were about violent, antisocial loners, was more
interested in the cold-blooded criminals Silliphant dreamed up for his
subversive, blackly humorous screenplay—Dancer (Eli Wallach in only his second
film role), a psychopathic hit man whose natty attire and assiduous pursuit of
self-improvement sits uncomfortably with the savagery of his profession; and
Julian (Robert Keith), his handler-cum-agent, who schools Dancer on the
subjunctive mood and has the bizarre habit of jotting down the last words of his
protégé’s victims.</span></span></div>

As Silliphant noted in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">Backstory 3</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">, “I was with [Siegel] in San Francisco on location when he shot </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">The Lineup</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. I remember being somewhat apprehensive about his reaction to my script when it was first given to him. I had created an off-the-wall character (played by Robert Keith, Brian’s father), an agent for Eli Wallach, one of the country’s top hit men. The idea of a killer having an agent appealed to me immensely, since the connection to Hollywood was immediately symbolic. And as Wallach proceeds through my script, blowing people away in successive killings, each time he’d return to the waiting line, the eager agent, Keith, would ask him the inevitable question: ‘Well, what were their last words?’ </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Eventually, </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">his
insistence of knowing last words provokes his client to shoot him—Wallach is
fucking fed up with this philosophic shit. Back in the fifties, this was hardly
your average screenwriting, if I can be somewhat immodest; and so I was shaky
about Don’s reaction. Well, he fucking went out of his mind—hooted with laughter—and
shot it all with relish.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">”</span></div>

In fact, everything about the script took the TV
series’ concept in grittier, darker directions. Heroin wasn’t exactly a
narrative staple in fifties films, yet Silliphant’s plot sees Dancer and Julian
summoned to San Francisco by “The Man,” a high-level heroin merchant, to
recover parcels of smack planted on unwitting travelers returning from overseas.
Needless to say, the killers’ brief extends to eliminating any loose ends in
the process. Their odyssey of homicide, paranoia, kidnapping and near-child-killing
is taken by Siegel/Silliphant to extremes beyond what the small screen dared in
the fifties. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Siegel
establishes an edgy tone in the breathless robbery attempt that opens the film.
A waterfront porter steals a suitcase from a cruise ship passenger at Pier 41
and tosses it into a waiting taxicab, whereupon the driver immediately speeds
away, promptly smashes into a truck and just as quickly strikes a policeman
with lethal impact. A lucky shot by the dying cop kills the driver, sending his
cab crashing into a barrier. All of this action occurs in the first 60 seconds,
testament to Siegel’s terse visual grammar. </span></span></div>

<!--StartFragment-->Guthrie
and Quine are first on the scene, and quickly tumble to the existence of the
narcotics ring, thanks to their discovery of a statuette inside the suitcase with
enough heroin to fix every junkie in the city for two weeks. For the first 20
minutes the film pays lip service to their investigative efforts—badgering
witnesses, gathering forensic evidence, submitting law-abiding citizens to the
degrading ritual of a police lineup. It’s all pretty generic, although
Guthrie’s sour, truculent persona proves entertaining, and there’s some fun to
be had watching Quine’s bulldog suspicion of Philip Dressler (Raymond Bailey),
an Opera House functionary whose stolen bag contained the illicit drugs. Never
mind that Dressler is innocent; Quine looks as if he’d like nothing better than
to take him behind closed doors and beat a confession out of him. The hulking
cop also delivers some sardonic one-liners. When Dressler says it’s
unfortunate they have to meet under such awful circumstances, Quine quips: “We
meet a lot of people under unpleasant circumstances, Mr. Dressler.”<!--EndFragment-->

<!--StartFragment-->The
requisite police procedural scenes are further enlivened by Siegel’s knack for
always knowing where to place the camera for visual impact and narrative
clarity. Taking full advantage of Hal Mohr’s crisp, documentary-like
cinematography, Siegel evokes San Francisco’s unique character through such locations
as the Embarcadero, Mission Rock Terminal, the War Memorial Opera House, Land’s
End and many others. He even manages to imbue the obligatory lineup sequence
with a sense of the mistrust and antagonism that exists between suspects
squirming under the bright lights and police detectives coolly observing them
from the darkness.<!--EndFragment-->

<!--StartFragment-->Unlike
the TV series, the film eventually eschews interest in the cops and focuses instead
on Dancer, Julian and their wheelman as they attempt to retrieve the heroin
from the unsuspecting drug mules: a merchant seaman, a rich businessman and a
single mother with a young daughter. Things go according to plan at first, abetted
by Dancer’s readiness to test the ballistic qualities of his silencer-fitted
revolver. But the final pickup proves more complicated, with one of the heroin
packets having disappeared, leaving Dancer and Julian with the unenviable task
of convincing The Man they haven’t tried to cut themselves in on the action. By
this time, Guthrie and Quine and a regiment of San Francisco’s finest have
finally caught up with the team, leading to a blistering car chase through the
city’s streets (a decade before the tire-shredding acrobatics in <i>Bullitt</i>) and a spectacular, existential
denouement high atop an overpass of a deserted, unfinished freeway. <!--EndFragment--></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>The Lineup</i>
is, even for its time period, a remarkably aggressive crime thriller, a quality
manifest in the extreme antipathy of Dancer and Julian for nearly everyone they
encounter. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Dancer in particular is one of
the most unsettling criminals in fifties cinema, thanks to the barely
restrained feral quality Wallach brought to his characterization. The actor was
initially leery about the role—having debuted in the prestigious <i>Baby Doll</i> (1956) under Elia Kazan’s
direction, he viewed <i>The Lineup</i> as an
artistic comedown. During the filming, I wasn't happy, and he [Siegel] sensed it," Wallach wrote in his autobiography. I felt I'd made a Faustian deal. I was compromising. The money seemed more important than the challenge of acting in a worthwhile project." </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But
Wallach soon entered into the spirit of the film once </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">he realized the complexity and creative
possibilities of his character. What makes Dancer so compelling are the
unresolved tensions in his basic makeup: His quest for personal and
professional growth is compromised by a hair-trigger temper that frequently
precipitates rash behavior. Even at his most controlled, the slightly crazed
gleam in his eye bespeaks an unbalanced id. More interesting perhaps is the
palpable insecurity in Dancer that constantly gnaws at him. He seems to realize
that he hasn’t yet risen to the top of his profession, that he’s still reliant
upon the sage counsel and calming influence of his father figure/mentor Julian.
This dynamic is hinted at early on when Dancer is asked by one of The Man’s
emissaries what makes him tick. “I had an old man once,” Dancer replies
tersely. “Well, most people do,” the contact responds, uncomprehending. “I
never met mine,” Dancer snaps, and strides away. The short, revealing exchange
is pure Silliphant.</span></div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Played
by venerable character actor Robert Keith, Julian is a smoother, more stable
personality than his partner. His
respectable façade notwithstanding, there’s something unpleasant in his
appearance and manner, something ghoulish and cadaverous, like a creepy uncle
at a family reunion. While not a killer himself, Julian in some ways is even
more twisted than Dancer. He takes perverse enjoyment in each of Dancer’s hits,
recording them in a little black book for some kind of sick posterity. He’s
also a deep-dyed misogynist. While this regressively masculine trait was far
from unusual in the fifties, Julian’s readiness to rudely foist his views on
members of the fairer sex was. To add further subversive subtext, his fussing
over Dancer and the manner in which the two men bicker like a married couple
suggests that their relationship may not be strictly platonic.</span><!--EndFragment-->

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dancer
and Julian’s co-dependency allows no room for outsiders, even among the
underworld fraternity. When their mob-appointed driver Sandy McLain (Richard
Jaeckel) shows up, they greet him with hostile suspicion until he establishes
his bona fides. Their attitude remains contemptuous, especially when they
discover he has a drinking problem. McLain betrays his lack of professionalism
by taking their criticism personally, like one ousted from a coveted social
clique. His eagerness to earn their respect causes him to take chances behind
the wheel that will have fateful consequences for all concerned. The character
flaws of all three men contrast and collide in fascinatingly destructive
fashion, both to themselves and others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">In addition to these caustic
characterizations is an equally sharp aggression directed against the era’s conventional
morality. This is expressed both in the screenplay and, more particularly, in
the direction, no surprise given the long list of antisocial protagonists in
Siegel’s canon: Neville Brand’s ruthless convict in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Riot in Cell Block 11</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">, Mickey Rooney’s sociopathic gangster in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Baby Face Nelson </i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">(1957), Lee Marvin’s terminator-like
hit man in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Killers</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">. Siegel himself
was an avowed antisocial outcast, and his films were routinely critical of the creeping
conformism of society, most pointedly in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Invasion
of the Body Snatchers</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> (1956). The criminal environment in his films was
always more vibrant and compelling than the straight world, which was presented
as drab, unimaginative, emotionally barren. Guthrie and Quine, representing the
established order, slot neatly into this dull dynamic with their predictable,
clichéd personas. Dancer and Julian, in contrast, are from another world—hipper,
more liberated, more dangerously seductive. It’s interesting to speculate how
audiences at the time perceived such dissident attitudes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">As
always, Siegel’s moral subjectivism is never obtrusive, but deftly embedded in
his staging and treatment. Dancer’s meeting with seaman Larry Warner to recover
the first drug parcel takes place in the steam room of a men’s athletic club, a
setting then notorious for same-sex liaisons. As Dancer turns up the steam,
Warner says, “You like it thick, don’t you?” Dancer replies: “Who likes it
thin?” For a moment it seems as if the scene could veer away from the business
at hand into an uncharted direction, as the two men are nearly sitting in each
other’s laps. Dancer seems amused, or aroused—or a combination of the two—by
the situation. But when Warner, having discovered that the Tang Dynasty horse
he purchased abroad contains </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">real</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">
horse, attempts an ill-advised extortion, Dancer pulls out his piece and
rewards the seaman with a decidedly unhappy ending.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Siegel
next conjures an unsettling home-invasion vibe during Dancer’s visit to the
Pacific Heights abode of Mr. Sanders, whose new set of flatware, acquired in
Bangkok, contains a fortune in H. Posing as an acquaintance, Dancer bluffs his
way inside with thinly veiled malevolence and attempts to “borrow” the flatware
under the disbelieving gaze of the butler. The latter quickly sees through his
BS, but Dancer’s unspoken aggression is palpable and hypnotic, like a cobra facing
its prey. Siegel plays out the suspense just long enough to elicit sympathy for
the hapless servant, who manages too late to break the spell and yell out to
his employer, underestimating the quickness of Dancer’s strike.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Siegel is at his most provocative
when Dancer and Julian seek out single mother Dorothy Bradshaw and her daughter
Cindy, who’ve brought back from Tokyo a porcelain doll stuffed with junk.
Having trailed them to the Steinhart Aquarium, Dancer flirts with mom while “uncle”
Julian picks up little Cindy to give her a better view of the archerfish tank.
There’s something sinister in Julian's laughter as he shows the girl how the fish spit
water into the air (with marksmanship rivaling Dancer’s) to bring down insects
for their food. Unlike the Sanders’ butler, Dorothy Bradshaw doesn’t see
through Dancer’s mask, and unwisely accepts his offer of a ride back to their
hotel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Once there, Cindy shows her doll to Julian, who searches it in vain for
the heroin. Dancer then grabs the doll and violently tears at its dress as
Cindy starts bawling, then terrifies her into revealing that she powdered her
doll’s face with the “powder.” Stunned at this revelation, Dancer automatically
reaches for his gun to shoot mother and child on the spot. Julian intervenes—on
practical rather than moral grounds—arguing that they’ll need mom’s testimony
to convince The Man they aren’t holding out on him. Siegel knew the effect this
sequence would have on filmgoers. “Of course, violating the doll, and with the
child being in extreme jeopardy, means in a sense violating the child,” he told
Peter Bogdanovich in </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Who the Devil Made
It</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">. Decades later, the sequence and its implications remain deeply
disturbing.</span><br />

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The
director’s dark humor also pervades the penultimate scene at Sutro’s Baths and
Museum, where Dancer goes to meet The Man as Julian and McLain sit in the car
with their kidnap victims. Dancer, nerves starting to fray, waits in the
maritime exhibition gallery peering through seaview binoculars at the Pacific and
trying to appear nonchalant as a group of schoolgirls bustle into the room. One
of them—about the same age as the child he almost knocked off—asks for Dancer’s
help with the binoculars. The scene goes further off the wall with the arrival
of The Man, at first glance an innocuous-looking gent in a wheelchair, but who assumes
a kind of supernatural aura as he listens in icy silence to Dancer’s
ludicrous-sounding story. We’re almost in Harold Pinter territory, where the
pauses between words are more menacing than actual speech. Siegel’s framing enhances
the minatory mood—the underworld figures occupy the foreground while skaters
glide across the ice rink two floors below, oblivious to the impending
irruption of violence into their world. The Man’s lofty position also underscores
the character’s godlike presence, which for Siegel represented the inflexibility
of organized religion in the face of reason—another thematic depth charge
lurking beneath the narrative surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Man’s peremptory dismissal of
Dancer, symbolically consigning him to the next world, proves injudiciously
timed, triggering as it does the most spectacular wheelchair homicide since
Richard Widmark pushed grandma down a staircase in </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Kiss of Death</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> (1947). The subsequent high-speed pursuit through the
streets of San Francisco provides an appropriate bookend to the vehicular
manslaughter that opened the film. Despite the use of rear-projection, it’s an
exhilarating sequence, thanks to its breakneck pace, rapid cutting, brilliant
reaction shots and the mounting desperation of people hurtling toward unwelcome
destiny. As McLain avoids police roadblocks and mother and child provide a
soundtrack of screams, Julian scolds Dancer for wasting The Man. “Not him! Not
after I told you what would happen to us.” Dancer, unraveling at speed, snarls
in response: “Maybe you want to go back and look at what’s left of him on that
ice. </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">He pushed me too far!</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> So I
pushed him just far enough.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The
figurative cul-de-sac toward which the partners been heading assumes literal
form on the then still-under-construction Embarcadero Freeway, thanks to the
panicked reactions of their dipsomaniac driver, who nearly sends them into vehicular
free fall before wedging the car into a lane with converging crash barriers. As
the police close in, Dancer, his dark figure isolated against ribbons
of empty concrete, makes a final crazed protest against fate, noting Julian’s
last words (“No, Dancer, no!”) while terminating their association, leaving
Dorothy and Cindy Bradshaw with permanently traumatized psyches and, finally, embarking
on his own nihilistic plunge into the abyss.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The criminal expose films of the 1950s were inspired in part by the televised hearings on organized crime spearheaded by Senator Estes Kefauver and held in 14 cities throughout the United States between 1950 and 1951.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Millions of Americans watched spellbound as a huge cast of underworld
characters (600 in all) underwent questioning about their Mob affiliations,
including such high-ranking figures as Willie Moretti, Joe Adonis and Frank
Costello. (J. Edgar Hoover’s TV must have been on the blink during those years,
as the FBI didn’t formally acknowledge the existence of organized crime until
1957.)</span></span></div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>New York Confidential</i> (1955) is one of the more prescient, if
overlooked, examples of the latter group. While it may have relied on the word
“confidential” primarily for marketing purposes, it still provided a trenchant
look at the corporate, hierarchical structure of the syndicate and its nationwide
entrenchment. (The screenplay even references the Kefauver hearings.) Directed
by Russell Rouse, who co-wrote the screenplay for <i>D.O.A.</i> (1950) and helmed the well-regarded noirs <i>The Thief</i> (1952) and <i>House of Numbers</i> (1957), the film<i> </i>explores the line between personal
loyalty and fealty to the organization, and depicts in stark and unsparing
terms what happens to those who step over that line.</span><!--EndFragment-->

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The film features Broderick Crawford as Charlie Lupo, head of the New
York branch of a nationwide crime cartel run strictly along business lines; major
decisions affecting the syndicate’s well being are decided upon by majority
vote of the executive board. Charlie’s reign has been long and profitable, but he’s
about to undergo several reversals of fortune. First, one of his subordinates
violates the underworld code by committing an unsanctioned murder,
simultaneously filling a couple of innocent bystanders with lead and drawing
the harsh glare of unwanted publicity. The timing couldn’t be worse, as Charlie
is about to finalize an illegal oil deal financed with a government loan
secured through corrupt politicians and lobbyists.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The cartel’s national brain trust immediately order the transgressor’s execution,
so Charlie follows standard protocol and imports hit man Nick Magellan from
Chicago to carry out the sentence. Played by noir heavyweight Richard Conte, Nick
is a cool, assertive professional who immediately alienates Charlie’s chief
enforcer Arnie Wendler (Mike Mazurki) when the latter tries to tell Nick how the
job should go down. “When I make a hit, I don’t like a lot of company….Just give
me a driver. I’ll do the rest,” Nick retorts. Which he does—quickly, efficiently
and discreetly.</span></span></div>

to splinter. Following a failed assassination attempt on his life, he promotes
Nick to be his personal bodyguard, impressed by the younger man’s loyalty and
intelligence. Nick provides the kind of unconditional support missing from
Charlie’s relationships with the women in his life—rebellious, self-destructive
daughter Kathy (Anne Bancroft), who despises everything her father stands for; posh
mistress Iris (Marilyn Maxwell), a cocktail of combustible carnality who loves
not Charlie but Charlie’s money and power; and reproachful Mama Lupo (Celia
Lovsky), who brings Charlie up short whenever he becomes too overbearing. Iris
and Kathy are both attracted to Nick (unbeknownst to Charlie) and make surreptitious
plays for him at different times and for different reasons. The promiscuous
Iris is easy to fend off, but Nick finds himself reciprocating the feelings
that Kathy develops for him, although his loyalty to Charlie prevents him from
acting on them.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><i>New York Confidential</i> wasn't the first film </span><span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">to equate the workings of a nationwide crime syndicate with those of
legitimate business corporations, but it did so with a seldom-matched level of
insight and thoroughness. The screenplay by director Rouse and producer
Clarence Greene emphasizes the strict rules that syndicate members must abide
by regardless of rank or privilege. While the organization can accommodate manifestations
of personal loyalty—as when Charlie makes Nick his bodyguard and, following
Dagajanian’s deportation, his right-hand man—no individual is bigger than the
organization. Charlie is fated to learn this when he ignores the fact that he’s
just another cog in the syndicate machinery, and that </span><i style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">all</i><span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> cogs can be replaced when necessary. The Mob is run on specific
and ingrained rules of conduct, and any deviation from the norm is treated in a
manner commensurate with the nature of the offense.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">The syndicate’s corporate nature is also stressed by the repeated board
meetings of the regional Mob chiefs, as they formally convene to make policy
decisions (i.e., not contesting Dagajanian’s deportation) or collectively
mandate the removal of business impediments (i.e., terminate troublemakers). It’s
also one of the few 1950s films to foreground the syndicate’s influence and
power over politicians at the highest levels of government—and depict what can
happen to even highly placed figures who dare to cross the Mob. The sense of a
pervasive, minatory entity affecting all levels of society is strongly evoked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">Rouse packs a lot of dialog and a lot of action into the film’s
87-minute running time. Fortunately, the dialog is smart, tough and memorable.
Here’s Nick sharing his worldview with an unreceptive Kathy: “Take a look
around you. See that busboy over there? He steals from the waiter. The waiter
steals from the owner. And the owner gyps the government.” “You really believe
that about people?” Kathy asks. “Everybody’s out for what he can get?” Nick:
“Nobody’s handing out any free lunches in this world, Kathy.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">Such exchanges are delivered with style and conviction by the top-notch
cast. As Charlie Lupo, Crawford lives up to his screen persona of blustery panache.
He’s full of fast talk and intimidation and having things his own way. His
overbearing nature, however, masks a surprising vulnerability, evident in his growing
estrangement from Kathy and his pained incomprehension at her resentment of
what he stands for. Charlie is also emotionally dependent upon his mother; in
fact, there’s a suggestion that he’s something of a mama’s boy, yet he’s
ruthless enough when the occasion demands it.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Crawford’s character powers the narrative, but Conte’s character anchors
it. The Italian-American actor enlivened many a crime/noir film throughout a
distinguished, if criminally underrated career. His cool charisma and dangerous
aura lent his performances a distinct modernist edge. He was badass before the
word was coined, badass like Sean Connery in the first two Bond films. Conte’s Nick
Magellan is a sinister, implacable presence, a hit man with a sardonic
sense of humor. When Nick is sent to eliminate Gino, a syndicate turncoat on the
lam, the unsuspecting hood tells him, “I hope I’m going to Cleveland. I know a
lot of boys out there.” Nick replies, “You’re going a little farther than that,
Gino,” just before he pulls the trigger. Relaxed, confident and just a little
bit arrogant, it’s no wonder he’s catnip to the likes of Iris and Kathy. The
latter sums him up deftly: “Like a cobra. Always relaxed, yet always ready to
strike</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">”</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">Anne Bancroft did solid work in a handful of fifties noirs before
working miracles and seducing graduates in her sixties films. She imbues what
could have been a trite part with credibility and an intriguing degree of
ambiguity. Kathy’s bitterness against her father is keenly felt: “Decent people
don’t want me around—it’s as though I had a disease. I’m a freak because I’m
Lupo’s daughter. I’m ashamed of the name of Lupo and I’m ashamed of you.” Yet
she’s not too ashamed to live in his opulent house, enjoy the fruits of a
European education and wear expensive clothes, all paid for with syndicate
money. Bancroft’s nuanced performance is a reminder that most people are a
mixture of emotional and intellectual contradictions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">The violent words the characters direct at one another are matched by
their numerous acts of physical violence. The film boasts an impressively high
body count: an even dozen murders and a couple of visceral beatings, not to
mention the odd slap in the face. Yet there is nothing gratuitous in the
mayhem; every death and set-to has narrative significance. And Rouse never
lingers over the grievous bodily harm. It always manifests suddenly, delivers
its impact and is over just as quickly. The coarse-grained killings are imaged
in cinematographer Eddie Fitzgerald’s flat, grey visuals, a far cry from noir
chiaroscuro, but which effectively evoke the murky emotional terrain the
characters navigate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Rouse’s directorial style is, for the most part, restrained, yet he
allows himself periodic flourishes. He generates considerable tension after
Charlie’s men have dispatched Williamson and must descend by elevator from the
top floor of a high-rise building. As the car stops at every floor to take on
additional passengers, decreasing the chances of a clean getaway, close-ups on
the killers’ faces register their growing anxiety and desperation. There are
also two terrifically staged fight scenes—one in which Nick is worked over by
several goons, another in which he returns the favor—both daringly filmed in
near-darkness for enhanced dramatic effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">But the film’s most striking effect (also its subtlest) is the brief
pause Nick takes before sending each of his victims to the next world. At these
moments his eyes seem to film over, and his mouth curls into a sardonic smile,
as if he’s enjoying some private cosmic joke he alone is privy to. Only when
Nick is facing Charlie with a gun in his hand near the film’s conclusion does
his expression change from bemused condescension to something like compassion
and, possibly, regret.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Whatever moral scruples Nick may possess are certainly not shared by the
syndicate big shots, who show no compunction about sacrificing </span><i style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">any</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> organization member, no matter how

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After 16 years on the police force,
Barney Nolan (Edmond O’Brien) has made lieutenant detective, but has yet to wrap
his acquisitive hands around middle-class success. Tired of waiting, he’s ready
to cut corners, no matter how unlawful, to grab his share of the American
Dream. Having learned that a small-time bookmaker is carrying $25,000 for
delivery to underworld boss Packy Reed, Nolan plants himself on the
unsuspecting bookie’s route, surveilling him while attaching
a silencer to his 38 Special before emerging from the shadows with bad intent.
Waylaying his victim into an alley, Nolan promptly shoots him in the back and rifles
the corpse for the illicit money. Then, chillingly, he backs up a few paces, yells
“Stop or I’ll shoot” and fires a couple of un-silenced rounds into the air.
It’s as premeditated as murder can get. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When fellow detective Mark Brewster
(John Agar) arrives at the crime scene, Nolan tells him that the bookie made a
break for it and that Nolan’s shot “went wild,” even though it’s common
knowledge that he’s the department’s ranking pistol expert. He’s also known for
having an itchy trigger finger, as crime reporter Cabot (who functions as an
occasional Greek chorus) reminds Brewster back at the station: “Last year Nolan
killed two hungry wetbacks in a market burglary. Three years ago it was that
tramp over on Sullivan Street.” Nolan’s fellow detectives don’t much like him (with
the exception of Brewster, whom Nolan mentored) and perhaps even fear him a
little, but they unhesitatingly close ranks behind him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The station’s new captain, Gunnarson
(Emile Meyer), isn’t convinced the shooting was accidental, but until evidence
is found to the contrary, grudgingly accepts Brewster’s report—after throwing
Nolan’s record in his face and warning him to stop thinking with his trigger
finger. Gunnarson may be an honest cop, but he seems content to sweep Nolan’s
mess under the carpet rather than deal with the unwanted publicity an internal
investigation would create. That doesn’t stop him from chewing Nolan’s ass over
this latest incident: “Either you’re gonna start using judgment, Nolan, or you
can climb back into uniform and grow a new set of brains out in the daisy
field.” When Nolan smugly “apologizes” for putting the department in a spot,
Gunnarson responds in words that are all too rife with contemporary relevance: “There’s
no </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">spot</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">. You were a police officer
acting in the line of duty. Nobody gouges us for that as long as I’m in this
office. We gave you a gun and the authority to use it. One is no good without
the other. They don’t know that out there. So they’ll scream blue murder until
the next time they need a man with a badge.”</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Packy Reed (Hugh Sanders) is less
credulous than the police, knowing a bent cop when he sees one, and sends word
through a pair of private detectives with the entertaining monikers Fat
Michaels and Laddie O’Neal (played respectively by Claude Akins and Lawrence
Ryle) that he would greatly appreciate the opportunity to question Nolan about
the stolen money. The minatory pair (who will dog Nolan’s footsteps throughout
the film) initially try the friendly approach. But when Barney contemptuously
blows them off, they waste no time applying pressure on him by intimidating his
girlfriend, Patty Winters (Marla English). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

who accepts Nolan unreservedly, even though he bullies her as he does everyone
else in his orbit. Possessive and jealous in the extreme, he forces Patty to
quit her job as a scantily clad cigarette girl because he doesn’t like the

Beauty Queen Kitchen, the whole thing. Everything’s automatic: electric garbage
disposal, dishwasher, and up here we have an electric stove, three burners…” In
his masculine arrogance, he envisions Patty as mere housewife and sexual object—whether
she desires such a future or not. While Patty lounges in the living room
contemplating that domestic premise, Nolan sneaks out to the back of the house,
where he buries the blood money like a dog hiding a bone.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Nolan may think he has everything under
control, but his troubles soon mount. In addition to having an ill-tempered mob
boss on his back, Nolan must cope with a deaf mute who wanders into the police
station bearing a note that he witnessed the bookie’s shooting—and that it was
by no means accidental. Nolan intercepts the note and subsequently visits the
deaf man’s apartment in hopes of buying him off, but this effort takes an
unexpectedly dark turn. Meanwhile, Nolan’s increasingly erratic behavior has
aroused Brewster’s suspicions, and when the latter finds incriminating evidence
against his friend and tries to arrest him, Nolan nearly adds cop killer to his
resume. Now on the run—and completely unmoored from whatever moral scruples he
may once have possessed—Nolan is doubly dangerous, a fact made painfully clear
to Packy’s private eyes, to Brewster and Patty, and to the boys in blue hunting
him down. Nolan’s final trajectory plays out in underworld hideouts, anonymous
bars, public swimming pools and, ultimately, the model home where he had
stashed the 25 grand. He discovers far too late that crime pays, but only if
you’re willing to die for it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

protagonists typically held that rank (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The

from film to film. Revenge was the stimulus in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Big Heat</i> (1953), psychosis in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">On Dangerous Ground</i> (1952). That old standby, greed, resides within

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As a distinct subgenre of the
crime/noir film, these movies pose intriguing and important questions about corruption
and brutality among those charged with upholding the law. Policemen had
typically been portrayed in overwhelmingly positive terms throughout the
thirties and forties, but America’s postwar mood of disillusionment, plus the
Kefauver Committee hearings of the 1950s—which exposed the corrupt ties between
city and state governments and organized crime—helped create an atmosphere in
which more nuanced depictions of law enforcement were possible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Screenwriters Richard Alan Simmons and
John C. Higgins adapted the eponymous novel by William P. McGivern, whose other
books include </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Rogue Cop</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> and </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Big Heat</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">. McGivern’s work typically
focused on corruption of one form or another in political, union and civic
ranks. Novel and film both make the implicit point that corruption endures only
when it goes unchallenged. Nolan’s peers on the force may believe themselves to
be “pure,” but they are in fact enablers for turning a blind eye to his larcenous
and homicidal instincts. Scenarist Higgins also made a career of crime, so to
speak, specializing in the creation of conflicted characters on both sides of
the law. His name is signed to the screenplays of such pantheon noirs as </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">T-Men</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> (1947), </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Raw Deal</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> (1948), </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">He Walked by
Night</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"> (1948) and many others.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The direction was jointly shared by Howard
W. Koch and the film’s star, Edmond O’Brien. It was Koch’s first directorial
effort; his other films included <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Big
House, U.S.A.</i> (1955), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Girl in
Black Stockings</i> (1957) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Last
Mile</i> (1959), all of which demonstrated a fine command of B-movie dynamics.
O’Brien subsequently directed a 1958 episode of Schlitz Playhouse and the edgy
noir <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Man-Trap</i> (1961). It would be
interesting to learn how O’Brien and Koch split the directing chores, and who
was more responsible for the film’s overall pace and tone. It’s tempting to
assume that O’Brien invested his work behind the camera with some of the famous
intensity he manifested in front of it. No matter how they divvied it up, the
direction is expressive and efficient, and occasionally quite stylish. A case
in point is the scene in which Packy Reed summons Nolan to his home and offers
to “hire” him to find the money, knowing full well the detective took it, but
offering him a face-saving way to return it. Their verbal sparring is given a visual
correlative in the form of a televised prizefight that culminates in one of the
boxers landing a thunderous knockout punch, neatly foreshadowing the fate that
will likely befall Nolan should he remain recalcitrant. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

where Nolan is drowning his anxieties in a few double bourbons and half-heartedly
fending off sexual overtures from an enigmatic bottle-blond tramp played by
Carolyn Jones. The setting, atmosphere and dialog evoke the mood of loneliness
and sexual yearning that can be found in any bar in any city on any evening. The
blonde’s opening line neatly sums up her quarry: “You know what’s wrong with
mirrors in bars? Men always make hard eyes at themselves.” Nolan plays hard to
get, but her persistence and obvious sexual availability eventually loosen him
up, although she momentarily gives him a jolt when, having learned he’s a
detective, innocently asks, “Did you ever kill anybody?” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Nolan is half-attracted
and half-repelled by her, but realizes she provides good cover for a murderous
cop on the run, and after a few more doubles they’re locking lips with sleazy
abandon. Nolan seems more than ready to spend the night with her when he shakes
off the booze long enough to remember his priorities. He cons Fat Michaels and
Laddie O’Neal into meeting him at the bar, ostensibly to negotiate the return
of Packy’s money, but really to administer payback for having strong-armed his
girl. When they arrive, Nolan catches them off guard and savagely pistol-whips
them senseless. </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">The beatdown is staged mainly off
camera, but the gruesome sounds of impact and the fast cutting between Nolan’s twisted
face and the terrified patrons is more unsettling than if all the blows had actually
been shown. Needless to say, the blonde’s dreams of carnal fulfillment have
also been deep-sixed.</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Brewster’s attempted arrest of Nolan is
also strikingly staged. Although he gets the drop on Nolan, the more
experienced detective quickly turns the tables and jams his revolver against
the younger man’s head. In a remarkable two-shot, Brewster’s face in the
foreground is that of a man resigned to his imminent execution, while Nolan’s looming
face in the background is hard and filled with murderous resolve. The moment is
held for a few suspenseful beats: Nolan cocks the hammer, but will he pull the
trigger? Ultimately, he comes to his senses and cold-cocks Brewster instead.
Yet he will have no compunction about trying to kill the cops who come gunning
for him during the breakneck chase and shootout that culminates with
spectacular irony on the front lawn of Nolan’s dream house. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

films, but it somehow emerges as the most indelible, thanks to its gritty tone,
blunt social criticism, quirky characters and O’Brien’s feral intensity. The
versatile, Shakespearean-trained actor was a bona fide noir icon, never better
than with a gun or a drink in his hand and the weight of the world on his
shoulders. He was unmatched at portraying average Joes who land themselves in
dire straits by succumbing to their worst impulses, and then go off the rails
in convincing and spectacular fashion. O’Brien was rarely better than as Barney
Nolan, once a good cop whose ideals have been eroded by his compulsion to
acquire the trappings of success and willingness to do literally anything to
achieve it. As repugnant as the physical violence he employs toward this end is
the psychological violence he metes out to the two people closest to him: Patty
and Brewster. But Nolan has gone so far down his crooked road that they no
longer really exist for him as individuals in their own right. Nolan doesn’t care
about being liked or loved. He cares only about Nolan. And that twenty-five
grand.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Of all the stars who shot their way to
fame in the classic Warner Bros. gangster films of the 1930s—Edward G.
Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, George Raft—none quite measured up to James Cagney.
The actor’s physical dynamism, spitfire delivery and sardonic humor distanced
him from his peers and electrified audiences like no one before or since. But as
great as Cagney was in such films as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Public
Enemy</i> (1931), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">G-Men</i> (1935) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Roaring Twenties</i> (1939), his two
greatest gangster portrayals came well past the halfway point of his career,
and nearly a decade after he’d sworn never to revisit the genre.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cagney’s box-office fortunes were hit
and miss during the 1940s, and following a string of less-than-successful films
made by the independent production company he’d formed with his brother
William, he reluctantly returned to a cinematic life of crime as the incendiary
Cody Jarrett in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">White Heat</i> (1949).
Directed by Raoul Walsh and featuring a supercharged performance by Cagney, it
was unanimously hailed as a classic and put the actor back on top of the world.
The film did so well financially that the Cagney brothers decided to delve into
gangsterdom again for their next independent production. This film also made a
bundle of money, although its critical reception was considerably less
rapturous. Happily, time has a way of rectifying reputations, and today <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye</i> is considered
another high-water mark in Cagney’s criminal oeuvre.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The film benefited as much from the
talent behind the camera as in front of it. Harry Brown delivered a taut
screenplay that’s faithful to the storyline and spirit of the source material—the
eponymous novel by hard-boiled writer Horace McCoy—particularly in the
delineation of its extreme antihero, Ralph Cotter, a dangerously unbalanced
criminal whose transgressions run to murder, robbery, blackmail, sexual
predation and periodic outbursts of grievous bodily harm. It’s beautifully
directed by the underrated Gordon Douglas, who was to the fifties what Walsh
was to the forties—a visual stylist of the first order, proficient in virtually
any genre. Douglas was a master of camera placement, lighting, mood and pace.
His work rarely called attention to itself, but consistently enlivened and elevated
even pedestrian material. Had he been afforded more prestigious productions,
Douglas would likely be remembered today as an action auteur along the lines of
a Don Siegel.</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> </span></span></span></div>

Goodbye</span></i><span style="line-height: 150%;"> unfolds in a series of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Citizen
Kane</i>-like flashbacks as seven defendants in open court testify about their
part in Cotter’s crime spree in an unnamed small town. First up is Peter
Cobbett, a crooked guard at the state penal farm where Cotter is serving time
on a chain gang, an homage to the 1932 Warner Bros. classic <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang</i> and
its brutal, wisecracking guards. But the throwback tone quickly dissipates.
Armed with a revolver Cobbet has planted, Cotter and fellow convict Carleton (an
uncredited Neville Brand) make a break for freedom. When Carleton takes a
bullet in the attempt, Cotter doesn’t stop to help (as his character might have
done in gangster films of previous decades), but simply shoots him in the head so
as not to be slowed down. Luckily for Cotter, this act goes unnoticed by
Carleton’s sister, Holiday (Barbara Payton), positioned some distance away with
a rifle to aid their escape. Ironically, as Cotter sprints for cover, Holiday
saves his life with a well-placed shot that picks off a guard pursuing on
horseback.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Cotter’s got no time for thanks,
however. To him, people are simply a means to an end, and he instinctively
knows how to manipulate them to do his bidding. He starts right in on Holiday, seducing
her while she’s still grieving for her brother. Meanwhile, he entices petty
criminal Jinx (Steve Brodie), whose skill set includes stickups and electronics
expertise, to partner him for a supermarket robbery that nets them a quick six
grand. Before Cotter can spend any of it, however, he’s paid a surprise visit
by crooked detectives Weber and Reece (Ward Bond and Barton MacLane). They’ve
been tipped off about the holdup by garage mechanic Vic Mason, who supplied
Cotter’s getaway car and came out on the wrong end of a disagreement with the
volatile gangster. The cops brutally shake Cotter down for the loot and order
him to leave town rather than arrest him.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cotter is furious, but channels his
anger into a clever scheme to trap the unlawful lawmen, tricking them into
returning the next day and offering to cut them in on a big payroll robbery
he’s planning. Unbeknownst to them, Jinx is hiding in a closet recording their
conversation. Gotcha. Cotter subsequently enlists the aid of slimy lawyer
“Cherokee” Mandon (Luther Adler), whose legal know-how ensures the success of the
blackmail plan. Mandon sees to it that Weber not only gives Cotter a gun permit,
but more important, his prison record card, essentially giving him a legal
clean bill of health. (Cotter also contrives to deliver payback to Mason,
cold-cocking him with a pistol and dumping his body in a grease pit.)</span></span><br />

although his increasing recklessness and violence begins to alienate his
confederates. And despite having the wild and willing Holiday in his bed, he
also puts the moves on Margaret Dobson, the wild and willing daughter of a rich
and powerful business magnate, as he shapes a more ambitious and lucrative
scheme. Despite repeated warnings from Mandon that targeting the Dobsons will
only lead to disaster, Cotter rashly pursues his course, his hubris preventing
him recognizing the danger that’s closing in from an unexpected quarter, and blinding
him to the fury that only a woman scorned can deliver. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Holiday is the film’s nearest thing to
an innocent—her shooting of the prison guard was the first criminal act of her
life and was motivated solely by fear for her brother’s life. Yet Cotter is
quick to recognize something rotten in her psyche, and even quicker to exploit
it to his advantage. Visiting her apartment soon after his escape, he finds her
cold and unresponsive. He promptly reminds her that assisting in the prison
break has resulted in “13,000 policemen in this state who would love to put you
away for a long, long time. Now, I’d bear that in mind if I were you, and act
accordingly.” When he pushes her buttons further by insulting her brother’s
memory, Holiday snaps and flings a knife at Cotter’s head, nicking his ear.
Cotter barely reacts; he merely walks into the bathroom, wets a towel and wipes
the blood from behind his ear as Holiday watches from the other room. But as
their eyes meet in the mirror, unspoken signals are sent and received. Cotter turns
and without warning savagely whips Holiday’s face repeatedly with the rolled-up
towel, the act shocking in its abruptness. Even more shocking is her reaction: she
impulsively throws her arms around him and gives vent to her physical and
emotional longing, much to Cotter’s bemusement. As they go into a clinch one
suddenly realizes they’ve been enacting a psycho-sexual courtship from the
moment he knocked on her door. A dark and daring sequence, years ahead of its
time.</span></span><br />

in which Margaret Dobson takes Cotter for a joyride and tests his nerve by running
the speedometer up to 100. Cotter ups her ante by pressing his foot on hers,
resulting in several near-head-on collisions. Douglas captures the test of
wills in revealing close-ups that suggest Margaret also has a few screws loose.
Naturally, it’s kismet for these two. As they close for a clinch, Douglas adds
a thematic frisson with a nicely timed dissolve to a coffeepot on the boil in
Holiday’s kitchen, neatly linking Cotter to both women and underlining the
dangerous nature both relationships hold for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Equally evocative is the camera framing
Douglas employs when Cotter and Mandon play their incriminating recording for
Weber and Reece. Webber’s face fills the screen as he realizes he’s been had, and
when he turns his head slightly to confront Mandon and Cotter, the viewer is
allowed to share the detective’s perspective of their best Cheshire cat grins. These
are among the small but beautifully orchestrated moments that recur throughout
the film as well as Douglas’ overall body of work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Douglas also draws potent, naturalistic
performances from his cast, notably Luther Adler as the shyster Mandon.
Although initially wary of Cotter, Mandon goes all in when Cotter gets the
goods on Weber and Reece, taking undue delight in humiliating the guardians of
the law. Ward Bond is also affecting as Weber, conveying his hatred of Cotter
for getting the upper hand over him, as well as his impotence to do anything
about it. Douglas even coaxes a more-than-competent performance out of
notorious starlet Barbara Payton, whose predilection for sordid off-screen
affairs helped torpedo a once-promising career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cagney, of course, is his usual
superlative self. Although he always regretted that audiences didn’t respond as
warmly to his non-criminal roles, he seems to thoroughly enjoy pushing his
gangster persona to extremes. He never goes berserk like he did playing Cody
Jarrett, but consistently underplays Cotter’s psychosis, investing the
slightest glance or gesture with palpable menace. The only time his expression
betrays mental instability is when someone questions his sanity. Vic Mason
makes this mistake while scolding Cotter for knocking off a supermarket so
close to his hideout. Cotter’s riposte is a vicious kick to Mason’s crippled
leg. Even more disturbing is the way Cotter takes advantage of Holiday and
Margaret sexually and emotionally. It’s hard to conceive of another actor of
Cagney’s stature willing to take such chances with his screen image.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

postwar crime film to so openly foreground the presence of corruption within the

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">In
another of the everyman roles in which he excelled, noir stalwart Edmond
O’Brien plays Mal Granger, an underpaid Los Angeles telephone company
technician with an expensive gambling habit. When his bookie, Chippie (Sammy
White), tips Mal that his electronics expertise could put him on intimate terms
with serious money, Mal takes the bait like a hungry grouper. Chippie promptly
introduces him to Vince Walters (Barry Kelly), owner of a wire service that
furnishes local bookmakers with up-to-the-minute race results surreptitiously
garnered from the city’s racetracks. To grow his business, Walters needs a way
to make his information instantly accessible statewide. Mal makes it happen by
using relay amplifiers, and soon runs Walters’ daily take up to staggering
levels.</span><span style="color: white; font-family: Garamond;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Although
he’s making enough money to quit his regular job and romance Walters’ assistant,
Trudy (Dorothy Patrick), Mal wants a piece of the action, and eventually forces
Walters into a partnership by threatening to take his equipment to a
competitive wire service. Mal’s burgeoning bank account, however, is
counterpointed by his increasing moral bankruptcy: He enjoys Trudy’s sexual
favors without committing to a long-term relationship, and emulates Walters’
callousness toward the bookies who use the latter’s check-cashing service and
fall behind on their interest payments. One of these schnooks, pushed to the
breaking point when Walters threatens his family, promptly shoots him dead, making
Mal the man in charge.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Mal’s
success, however, has attracted the attention Lt. Wright of the Gangster Squad
(Howard St. John), as well as Carl Stephans (Otto Kruger), head of the national
crime syndicate in Chicago, who tells his subordinates, “I’ve always thought we
should do something about the Pacific Coast. You know, it’s ridiculous that
this syndicate has never gone past Kansas City.” Stephans dispatches his number
two, Larry Mason, to bring Mal into the fold, implicitly suggesting that Mason utilize
his unfaithful wife, Gail (Joanne Dru), as sex bait. Mal rebuffs Mason’s initial
overture, but after laying eyes — and, in short order, hands — on Gail, allows
himself to be co-opted. Things are hunky dory until Mason tires of being
cuckolded and beats Gail badly enough to send her to hospital. To make matters
worse, Mal discovers that the syndicate isn’t giving him his full cut.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In
a sign of just how far he’s gone from law-abiding citizen to budding gangster,
he hires an out-of-town killer to whack Mason. When said hit man tries a little
blackmail, Mal resorts to vehicular manslaughter. Sensing that his nascent
empire is about to come crashing down, Mal uses his technical savvy to swindle
the mob at the Las Vegas racetrack of a quarter of a million bucks. He and Gail
then try to flee to Arizona via what was then known as Boulder Dam, only to run
smack into a police roadblock. In a terrific sequence, they descend into the
dam with a tour group as the cops pursue them through the labyrinthine
interior. The film culminates with Mal climbing an endless ladder to the top of
the dam — an obvious if apt metaphor for his unbridled ambition — only to
emerge from darkness into the light of fierce retribution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As
much morality tale as crime procedural, <i>711
Ocean Drive</i> is primarily concerned with the latent corruption within us all,
and how little it takes to prod it to the surface. All of the main characters
compromise to some extent their personal and/or professional ethics for money,
sex or power. Mal, of course, goes for the trifecta. It’s a tribute to O’Brien’s
skillful, subtle performance that we believe in Mal’s rapid character
transformation. As a working stiff, he’s warm, decent and generous, even
loaning twenty bucks to a needy co-worker. But once he sees how the other half
lives, he becomes abrasive, greedy and callous. The film’s unspoken message
seems to be that success is there for the taking, if one ignores accepted
conventions of behavior and morality. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The other characters aren’t much better.
Chippie relinquishes his independence to ally himself with the up-and-coming
Mal, only to become little more than a hanger-on. Larry Mason cynically uses his
wife to advance the mob’s interests. Gail Mason is an alcoholic and a
compulsive bed-hopper who ditches her rat of a husband for the sleeker, more
exciting rat who calls himself Mal Granger. Her moral turpitude is such that
she stays with Mal even after learning that he’s guilty of arranging Larry’s
murder. Everybody pretty much gets what’s coming to them. </span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">All
of this personal rot plays out within the wider context of a pervasively
corrupt America. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">711 Ocean Drive</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> was
the first of a string of fifties films that openly proclaimed the existence of
a national crime syndicate, along with such notable examples as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The Mob</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> (1951), </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The Enforcer</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p> (1951) and </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Hoodlum
Empire</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> (1952) — at a time when J. Edgar Hoover was publicly denying its
existence. It’s also one of the most incisive and entertaining, thanks to
career-best direction from Joseph M. Newman. Aided by Franz Planer’s flat,
naturalistic cinematography, Newman creates a number of trenchant vignettes:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: small;"> • Stephans and his associates convene in a classic boardroom setting to discuss such underworld matters as expansion and murder in tones of chilling corporate impersonality. Through lighting, camera placement and editing, Newman unobtrusively but effectively establishes the organizational hierarchy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-size: small;"> • Newman's visual acumen is also apparent during a poolside meeting between Mal, Stephans and Mason. As the men discuss business, Gail lounges a few feet away displaying
her physical charms for Mal’s benefit. Her erotic and adulterous promise is the
real point of the scene. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> • The film’s big set piece, in which Mal and Gail flee
the law inside the dam, contains some unforgettable imagery of the pair running
down narrow corridors and past huge electric generators. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
darkly witty screenplay by Richard English and Francis Swann is beautifully
paced and resonates with intriguing allusions to real-life mob figures. For
Carl Stephans, read Meyer Lansky. For Larry Mason, read Bugsy Siegel — even to
the actual mobster’s murder by long-range rifle. The unprincipled and amoral
world they evoke tells unpleasant truths about the American Dream that
mainstream films of the era dared not mention.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The
New York Times</i>, July 20, 1950 (Bosley Crowther)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Despite some considerable advertising of “711 Ocean Drive” as a daring
and courageous revelation of the big bookmaking and gambling syndicates, this
modest Columbia melodrama, which came to the Paramount yesterday, is no more
than an average crime picture with some colorful but vague details thrown in.
Certainly no one who reads the papers with a fairly retentive eye can have any
less comprehension of the gambling racket than is illustrated here. To be sure,
in pursuing a story of a poor but honest telephone man who gets mixed up in a
bookmaker’s wire-room and rises forthwith to be a big-time gambling boss, this
picture does give some modest glimpses of how a wire service operates and how a
fellow who is smart at electronics can pull some nifty and enterprising tricks.
But the disservice to the betting public which these operations may entail is
never demonstrated… In short, this little picture, conventionally written but
well photographed, does no more than any gangster picture in reminding us that
gangsters are crooks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As they make their getaway in a stolen laundry van, the masks come off and, in a neat twist on the standard heist picture, reveal the perpetrators to be women. After ditching the van, they bury the booty near a remote cabin out in the sticks, where they plan to leave it for two years until the heat dies down. It’s the perfect crime—who would suspect four attractive women of conceiving and pulling off such a daring robbery? But the girls turn out to be imperfect criminals, falling prey to the same internal divisions, ungovernable greed and combustible rivalries as their male counterparts.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >The unquestioned leader of the pack is Vera Parkinson, a tough and sexy nightclub owner played by B movie queen Mara Corday. Vera rules with an iron fist in a velvet glove. What Vera wants, Vera usually gets, and woe betide anyone who stands in her way. Rounding out the crew is Joyce (Joyce Barker), a blonde, butch masseuse; Marie (Lita Milan), an alcoholic beautician with a penchant for shoplifting and picking pockets; and Agnes (Abby Dalton), the inside woman who works at the payroll firm. Also in the mix is Vera’s younger, not-so-innocent sister Helen (played by Barbara Bostock); the two live in a swank apartment atop the nightspot, modestly called Club Vera. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Things begin to unravel on the day following the heist, when Agnes calls Vera in a panic, worried that she won’t be able to hold up under police questioning of the payroll service employees. Vera wastes no time paying Agnes a visit, giving her some sleeping pills, then turning on the gas to ensure that she slumbers undisturbed for eternity. Vera sets it up to look like suicide, an explanation quickly embraced by the investigating officer, Lt. Bill Hanley (Mark Richman), who seems less interested in solving the robbery than in macking on Helen, especially when he catches her act at Club Vera, singing torch songs and performing sexy little dance numbers. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUu_2zY-a0A-1yCjrvzsyP9xVnupn3IBsiOzU4r3_HE5c6qk-p0UKqWWy2ObgxppzrT16Smdt0nyPH6vGEoWDvNRWZeOag0pCvRXWllZWJOsHia-uxhymD5igaI3SwIxyUrEpGtl0vQ0/s1600/2:Girls+will+be+boys..jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUu_2zY-a0A-1yCjrvzsyP9xVnupn3IBsiOzU4r3_HE5c6qk-p0UKqWWy2ObgxppzrT16Smdt0nyPH6vGEoWDvNRWZeOag0pCvRXWllZWJOsHia-uxhymD5igaI3SwIxyUrEpGtl0vQ0/s400/2:Girls+will+be+boys..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504326254579462274" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Girls will be boys.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Joyce, however, doesn’t buy the idea that Agnes killed herself. “How did you do it, Vera?” she taunts, causing the normally unflappable queen bee to lose her cool: “How did I do it? I said it was suicide, you pig! If you ever say it again, if you even think it, I’ll ram these scissors right through you, you sick, ugly slob!” There’s more bad blood brewing when Marie starts adding up numbers and suspects that Vera plans to gradually reduce their ranks to increase her share of the payout. She subsequently tells Vera that she’s quitting the gang and demands her money up front. The three women repair to the cabin, where a drunken Marie starts digging up the buried loot, seemingly unaware that the others view this move in lethally disapproving terms. With Vera’s implicit assent, Joyce dispatches the errant homegirl by viciously burying a switchblade in her back. Two down and two to go. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While all this infighting is going down, Helen and Lt. Hanley are fervently carrying on behind Vera’s back. The budding romance is viewed with alarm both by big sister and the conniving Joyce, who does her best to terminate the relationship via attempted vehicular homicide. Further complications ensue and more fur flies as the surviving gang members circle each other like hungry sharks. During the full-bore hellcat showdown, their psychotic impulses and implacable killer instincts ignite with predictable yet satisfying results.</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GPrRgDzuMYcPynhmgdsN63-aHRRxufBt3JyPcghgCSRWbzTmIBQWmNcEAV6n68TvQn4L_QkpfNHROcSAZvAyLvnFNQ5eUOTCmyI9KrPqFbA9H3Sm6FRMAuLx8pZhn2FeGrAsRRNwKhU/s1600/3:Felonious+and+fashionable..jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GPrRgDzuMYcPynhmgdsN63-aHRRxufBt3JyPcghgCSRWbzTmIBQWmNcEAV6n68TvQn4L_QkpfNHROcSAZvAyLvnFNQ5eUOTCmyI9KrPqFbA9H3Sm6FRMAuLx8pZhn2FeGrAsRRNwKhU/s400/3:Felonious+and+fashionable..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504326165332522290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Felonious </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >and</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> fashionable.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Summary Judgment</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Girls on the Loose</span> is a wicked slice of cinematic subversion that totally inverts the masculine-dominated universe of the typical crime film. Men are marginalized to the extent that they exist only to satisfy the sexual demands of women like Vera. The sole police officer in the film, Lt. Hanley, plays no role whatsoever in bringing the girl gang to justice. In fact, he’s completely unaware of their identities until Helen confesses all while recovering in hospital from the aforementioned automotive assault. Nor does he participate in the violent denouement. Feminists would doubtless have a field day with the empowerment theme being played out, while exploitation connoisseurs will simply enjoy the pervasive atmosphere of sleazy sexuality. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Corday, a former Playmate of the Month and star of such sci-fi epics as <span style="font-style: italic;">Tarantula</span> (1955) and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Black Scorpion</span> (1957), dominates the film as Vera, making her a stunning combination of virago and vixen. Vera is all woman, but she’s as tough as any man. She pistol whips a payroll guard into a coma during the robbery, and doesn’t hesitate to slap the girls around when they step out of line. She even smacks dear little Helen when the latter tries to assert her independence. Vera will stop at nothing to protect her interests and maintain her authority, including murder. She’s one of the purest embodiments of feminine evil in fifties films, and a constant joy to watch. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbXLqdms9jcERFPvUCLMQVxxaBK-EgbpYZwR9Dsj5EySStfNat78jXA3bqg7pPLxsLJ6SveRIHn6u_KsmU9jupjAo9dnQsGyNwFjG9P-dhnJScczj_foW9GF6p1-9Lti3TPgzTlGCINwQ/s1600/4:"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbXLqdms9jcERFPvUCLMQVxxaBK-EgbpYZwR9Dsj5EySStfNat78jXA3bqg7pPLxsLJ6SveRIHn6u_KsmU9jupjAo9dnQsGyNwFjG9P-dhnJScczj_foW9GF6p1-9Lti3TPgzTlGCINwQ/s400/4:" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504326067353657986" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">“Here, honey, try this propane gas inhaler.”</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">With her swept-back hair and take-no-prisoners bosom, Vera takes her pleasure as she finds it, and she finds it most often with those who take orders from her. One such fellow is Joe, the bartender at her club, whom she greets the morning after the robbery with a lingering kiss that leaves no doubt as to the other services he renders. Vera is also a cougar in the making, with a decided yen for the young men who deliver food from the local market. Five minutes after playing tongue tag with Joe, she’s making a call in the kitchen when in walks the newest delivery boy, Danny. Vera sizes up this latest piece of meat with a critical eye, as if considering where to take her first bite. Within moments, she’s entwined herself around him and locked her lips firmly to his. Fade to black, with the clear implication that Vera is immediately going to find out whether Danny measures up to his predecessors.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Helen is also something of a sexual adventuress, although cut from a less predatory cloth than her older sister. She firmly dictates the course and tempo of her relationship with Lt. Hanley, and the script implies that he’s far from being her first lover. Marie and Joyce’s sexuality is ambiguous, although there’s a late-night massage scene that implies they might be occasional lovers. And when Marie makes a drunken pass at Hanley at Club Vera, Joyce pulls her away with the possessive fervor of a jealous woman. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3utB3AlGmqb56L2Xnafii1doMDNCWQ100IBzPkCXMZgjP7iURG4m0I_mxVBnj18kPcKtyOVofI-HrkmvM09r4zDQBsTdcUDXrLQWTzlrnCOxlPpj7R7i7BeIWGb7oDwCgEoHJL84pu4/s1600/5:Calling+all+fetishists..jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3utB3AlGmqb56L2Xnafii1doMDNCWQ100IBzPkCXMZgjP7iURG4m0I_mxVBnj18kPcKtyOVofI-HrkmvM09r4zDQBsTdcUDXrLQWTzlrnCOxlPpj7R7i7BeIWGb7oDwCgEoHJL84pu4/s400/5:Calling+all+fetishists..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504325972647474818" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Calling all fetishists.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Director Paul Henried was, of course, better known for his acting, particularly his role as Victor Laszlo in <span style="font-style: italic;">Casablanca</span> (1942). But beginning in the fifties, he directed a half-dozen feature films and nearly 100 television episodes. He seemed to gravitate to pulpy thriller material like <span style="font-style: italic;">Girls on the Loose</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Live Fast, Die Young</span>, also made in 1958. Henreid brought a journeyman’s craft to his work behind the camera. He rarely attempted any camera virtuosity, and concentrated on moving the narrative along and eliciting competent performances from his actors. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Where Henreid really shines, and where he reveals his inner Elmer Batters, is in the inordinate number of shots devoted to the women dressing and undressing. If the visual evidence in this film is anything to go by, Henreid was a dyed-in-the-wool leg man and foot fetishist. He first indulges himself when Vera returns home after the robbery. As the nightgown-clad Helen lounges in the living room, Vera strips down to a sexy camisole and slowly, sensually peels off her stockings, her movements imbued with maximum resonance through Henreid’s framing. <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This is followed by a shot of Vera luxuriating in the bathtub, one leg thrust straight up in almost orgasmic satisfaction. Also on frequent display are pulse-quickening peignoirs, bottom-hugging pajamas, form-fitting girdles, man-eating bras and endless décolletage. The ultimate money shot is a stunning image of Helen’s beautiful feet superbly contained in sexy stiletto heels. Have mercy. </span></span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigdcwHmlyBUACKby80oyxXP8hqai0UcMq6vldPP-ECz1ft6I_8x5b6b5g_e11UskyjrNzCBSLqGaOUOF44TVGS0eBgKLXvN23jZrEu8-uGmnApPY6GK8-wUpO-N4WBUswy5EmIx__cfSI/s1600/6:The+girls+settle+a+little+disagreement.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigdcwHmlyBUACKby80oyxXP8hqai0UcMq6vldPP-ECz1ft6I_8x5b6b5g_e11UskyjrNzCBSLqGaOUOF44TVGS0eBgKLXvN23jZrEu8-uGmnApPY6GK8-wUpO-N4WBUswy5EmIx__cfSI/s400/6:The+girls+settle+a+little+disagreement.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504325857725938626" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The girls settle a little disagreement.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Every so often Henreid remembers that he’s directing a crime film and includes some decently stylized violence. Vera’s clubbing of the payroll service guard has a nice visceral edge, and her gassing of the unfortunate Agnes is staged with chilling aplomb. Joyce’s simmering hostility also boils over several times in rather spectacular fashion. Henreid privileges these moments with nicely timed close-ups that accentuate her latent psychosis. Finally, and fittingly, the climactic confrontation between Vera and Joyce takes place in the bleak surroundings where the money lies buried. It’s played out with bullet and blade and no quarter expected or given.</span> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Fingering the Fifties</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >• Couples necking in parked cars</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >• Hot older women sleeping with delivery boys</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >• Bullet bras that leave broken men in their wake</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdU6tBT-qmUb74qtjHTI8vFaLdigoiGBjriRM6prJpx1oAHI0cVWDY6vvkz6UbyqF6SlVz0UduPTO0bl6eTX9vXaLoQlbO11FxfyCVSe4KoFXAvtTfKKxfxYr7zLWCrBS3P-WFTZ2tMlw/s1600/7:What's+a+little+rubdown+between+friends%3F.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdU6tBT-qmUb74qtjHTI8vFaLdigoiGBjriRM6prJpx1oAHI0cVWDY6vvkz6UbyqF6SlVz0UduPTO0bl6eTX9vXaLoQlbO11FxfyCVSe4KoFXAvtTfKKxfxYr7zLWCrBS3P-WFTZ2tMlw/s400/7:What's+a+little+rubdown+between+friends%3F.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504325732398850306" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">What’s a little rubdown between friends?</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Quotable</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >VERA: “What’s your name?”</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >DANNY: “Danny.”</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >VERA: “Well, Danny boy.

But back in fifties filmdom, dames had to be tough enough to put up with all kinds of abuse from assorted hoodlums, killers and cops, and Audrey Totter was one of the toughest. Here she takes it on the chin from an underworld fixer played by Raymond Burr, one of a long line of villainous roles he essayed before crossing to the other side of the law in his television series <span style="font-style: italic;">Perry Mason</span>. Totter plays an FBI clerk who’s pressured to steal a file detailing the criminal past of a governor planning to run for the U.S. Senate. Not only does Audrey’s platinum perm get messed up, she also meets an untimely end at the hands of Burr’s henchman in this tight little programmer from Lippert Pictures. </span></span>Dean Brierlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17851327122917136443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386681764674173264.post-32902890029462003992010-06-23T12:01:00.001-07:002010-06-23T13:11:47.955-07:00<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Bonnie Parker Story</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(American International Pictures, 1958)</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUA3neMnDdBtOq0L3lCuL8v_ZP3zPIj_fmkseC_0LESGV2LanCBhdjzPO5Dg24mcFSjRWvcnZpwZvl_g45q0v5aNajMvV-M3GacT8Kccp2G26Vcub-vkjWXqVAp0AJjsH_AhYqniAl0yA/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUA3neMnDdBtOq0L3lCuL8v_ZP3zPIj_fmkseC_0LESGV2LanCBhdjzPO5Dg24mcFSjRWvcnZpwZvl_g45q0v5aNajMvV-M3GacT8Kccp2G26Vcub-vkjWXqVAp0AJjsH_AhYqniAl0yA/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486047330473521234" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Bonnie with her preferred phallic symbol.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Taglines</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >• Cigar Smoking Hellcat of the Roaring Thirties</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >• She Lived Like A Woman, And Killed Like An Animal!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Just the Facts</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">The Bonnie Parker Story </span>appeared amidst a spate of late-50s gangster biographies. The cycle began with Don Siegel’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Baby Face Nelson </span>(1957) and centered on notable historical criminals of the 1930s. None of these movies were entirely faithful to the actual lives of their subjects (surprise!), and this one was no exception. The real Bonnie Parker apparently never killed anyone or smoked cigars; her character does plenty of both in this 1958 AIP production. The actual Clyde Barrow was a hard-bitten criminal and unrepentant murderer, aspects that are belied somewhat by Jack Hogan’s wisecracking portrayal. (For some reason, the film also changes Clyde Barrow’s name to Guy Darrow.) But <span style="font-style: italic;">The Bonny Parker Story</span> gets closer to the truth than most films about the famous pair, notably in its refusal to soft soap their callousness, and boasts a harder edge to boot. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The action begins in 1932 in Oklahoma City, where Bonnie (Dorothy Provine) is doing time in a greasy spoon while hubby Duke Jefferson (Richard Bakalyan) serves out his life sentence in prison. Enter Guy, a small-time thief with big-time delusions. Bonnie can take him or leave him, but senses his potential, especially when he shows her his machine gun. (There’s B movie thematics for you!) They hook up and start knocking over bars and gas stations across Texas,</span> </span>but while Guy is content with penny ante jobs, Bonnie longs for bigger scores. Meanwhile, Bob Steel (Douglas Kennedy), the Texas Ranger tasked with their arrest, arranges for Guy’s brother to get parole and then tails him to the gang’s hideout in a Missouri farmhouse. Before Guy can say, “Holy cow! There’s somebody out there holding National Guard maneuvers in the front yard,” the law has rolled out the welcome wagon with tear gas shells and a fusillade of bullets. The gang briefly returns fire before piling into a getaway car and making a hasty escape as Bonnie fills a couple of sheriff’s deputies full of lead. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqWY4NweeTglEiC82ckIktk6I8NsSpFA1MAolvZvwwDgYMUpB3X7c96dJBaCkpV-aITAQSv62OVj5wxa7O0WR5DQxFYEYWyPNo-zkSSgiUjuZHKhu-t_SYtRL0DPH_-V9dOMBQPy6IyY/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqWY4NweeTglEiC82ckIktk6I8NsSpFA1MAolvZvwwDgYMUpB3X7c96dJBaCkpV-aITAQSv62OVj5wxa7O0WR5DQxFYEYWyPNo-zkSSgiUjuZHKhu-t_SYtRL0DPH_-V9dOMBQPy6IyY/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486047221005446610" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Just a couple of young, carefree killers.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The teed-off Ranger tracks the gang to Iowa and stages a shoot-first ambush during which Guy’s brother Chuck (Joseph Turkel) is killed, although Bonnie and Guy manage to slip away.

Unfortunately for them, the father of one of their new recruits tips off Steel that the wanted couple will be at his house the next morning.

Nestled between these two like a bullet in the chamber is this cheap exploitation biopic. If <span style="font-style: italic;">The Bonnie Parker Story </span>lacks the expressionist power of the former, it avoids the artistic pretensions of the latter.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Director William Witney, veteran of countless serials and B films, was no Joseph H. Lewis. In fact, he never got within shouting distance of an A film. But Witney was shrewd enough to recognize Provine as the film’s biggest asset, and duly makes her the focus of attention from start to finish. That includes the opening titles, in which her mirrored reflection strips down to a form-fitting slip as Ronald Stein’s rockabilly instrumental theme establishes an evocative backroads vibe. As the last title fades, Bonnie pulls a light cord and plunges the screen into darkness, whereupon Witney cuts to a close-up on a machine gun in full fury, deftly introducing and linking the film’s twin themes of sex and violence. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >As the camera pulls back, we see that it’s Guy, not Bonnie, doing some target practice. But Stanley Shpetner’s screenplay quickly identifies Bonnie as the dominant player in their relationship. When Guy walks into the sleazy diner where she works and tries out some stale pickup lines on her, she flings a pan of hot grease in his direction with the warning that she might be too hot for him. This is the first indication of Bonnie’s proclivity for violence. She starts out as a frustrated nonentity—going nowhere in particular and taking her time about it—until she discovers the killer inside her. Bonnie embraces violence the way other women embrace marriage and family. Unlike the herd, she’s bored by the prospect of bland domesticity. Stealing money, and killing anyone who tries to stop her, seems a much more exciting career path. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDecKemrRXHAO-v04DquRmgMxZ_4EI4B0KqDMUJVj68eITgYH_4tHv3tnrgi5ivrYQzDVgUuCXnA6VOBnoyV7Osb2hPI0YIwZUGh4g5eSP7sbQnxSJCTznAXlPNitK2H1crCi4SkCdDQM/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDecKemrRXHAO-v04DquRmgMxZ_4EI4B0KqDMUJVj68eITgYH_4tHv3tnrgi5ivrYQzDVgUuCXnA6VOBnoyV7Osb2hPI0YIwZUGh4g5eSP7sbQnxSJCTznAXlPNitK2H1crCi4SkCdDQM/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486046976131889090" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hotter than the pistol in her hand.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Violence in turn defines Bonnie’s sexuality.

Witney invests the film with good period atmosphere despite its low budget, and utilizes appropriately grim and nondescript locations. Outside of Provine’s tawdry sex appeal, no attempt is made to glamorize the settings or characters, in marked contrast to the Technicolor sheen applied to the famous 1968 version, in which Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are unable to transcend their star personas. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >No such problem exists for Provine, for whom <span style="font-style: italic;">The Bonnie Parker Story</span> was her debut film.

She followed it with another bad girl role in <span style="font-style: italic;">Riot in Juvenile Prison</span> (1959) before adding other facets to her persona and graduating to mainstream fare. But she’s at her raw, indelible best in this film, burning up the screen with her combustible allure and strong-willed personality. She plays Bonnie with unapologetic amorality, never once trying to enlist audience sympathy. She maintains that intransigence right up to the moment we hear her voice from the grave before the final credits roll: “We got ourselves a one-way ticket.

Written and directed by Andrew L. Stone, the film charts the extralegal activities of the “Tri-State Gang,” so named because its members ply their trade in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. The five-man crew is led by George Legenza (Steve Cochran), a stone-cold sociopath who doesn’t hesitate to kill anyone he deems a threat—not excluding girlfriends who contemplate ratting out to the police. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Following a brief “crime does not pay” preamble by the actual governors of the aforementioned states, we see it pay very well indeed as the outlaws knock over a Winston-Salem bank with military-like precision. That evening the gang unwinds at a swank nightclub, but George’s squeeze Madeline (Aline Towne) kills his buzz with her incessant worry that the police will soon catch up to them. George smacks her down, but it’s not enough to make her tone down. She eventually splits and cabs back to her hotel, intending to pack and run out for good. Legenza tails her and is on his way up in the hotel elevator as she nervously waits to ride it down. She gets the surprise of her life when the doors open and she finds herself face to face with lover boy. “Goin’ somewhere, sweetie?” he asks calmly, and just as calmly pulls out his piece and guns her down. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuRXa3xJBP8OwRpUcQvID6PSBcvL6hEQmW5TWcAWDyEKHiqdeaOvcnTBSK-bpKvQYElzOg8YVh32me0FG_hj5L8V6f9HgMk9e7L82Ig35YHuhB0HLg4Z61iL6ahTcPUZELSoOXxvRm08/s1600/7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuRXa3xJBP8OwRpUcQvID6PSBcvL6hEQmW5TWcAWDyEKHiqdeaOvcnTBSK-bpKvQYElzOg8YVh32me0FG_hj5L8V6f9HgMk9e7L82Ig35YHuhB0HLg4Z61iL6ahTcPUZELSoOXxvRm08/s400/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483050784967639170" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Legenza's girlfriend no longer has to worry about the cops.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Their next job, a payroll truck heist, goes just as smoothly as the bank job, but as the men tear into the booty, they discover the money's been cut and was en route to the federal mint to be burned. A bad omen, one the gang ignores at its peril, as its heretofore-</span>profitable program starts to unravel. Even Legenza’s trigger-happy habit can’t prevent the law from closing in. The fast-paced film picks up even more steam as the boys become embroiled in one desperate scrape after another. Following a tense hospital shootout, the remaining gang members end up on the losing end of a fierce police pursuit, which culminates in spectacular fashion as one of them suffers further—and fatal—trauma from the effects of machine gun bullets and a speeding train. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Summary Judgment</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Andrew Stone was one of numerous Hollywood directors who labored in relative obscurity while making consistently reliable entertainment. His films are notable for their frequent location shooting, direct sound and naturalistic lighting. He worked hard and he worked fast, but most important, he worked efficiently, turning out a series of taut crime thrillers throughout the fifties: <span style="font-style: italic;">Confidence Girl </span>(1952), <span style="font-style: italic;">The Steel Trap</span> (1952), <span style="font-style: italic;">A Blueprint for Murder</span> (1953), <span style="font-style: italic;">The Night Holds Terror</span> (1953), <span style="font-style: italic;">Julie</span> (1956) and <span style="font-style: italic;">Cry Terror</span> (1958). The no-nonsense approach he brought to his films reflects the character of the man who turned down a lavish MGM contract, stating: “I’d have had to pacify the stars and keep them happy—like a priest who doesn’t believe a word of what he says.” Stone’s contrarian personality can be sensed in the disparity between his handling of the film’s authority figures and those on the other side of the law. The prologue’s gubernatorial trio is presented in static setups that do nothing to mitigate the numbing boredom of their platitudes. Ditto for Detective Sergeant Truscott (Edmon Ryan), who leads the investigation of the Tri-State Gang and is also heard in periodic sanctimonious voiceover. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1ltmDhqtX6ClW7GIBb8Tf0VO6JDkt11aZCdxyiJOI5N8sfE06Zpe1WFfSiGsunTxd4stbRk54AJxSATYyXsZ4MaIA8C04JW_sSHGlvEl9vE9DdThEVDvoucRBonh-tl9DNLnpo_fatM/s1600/6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ1ltmDhqtX6ClW7GIBb8Tf0VO6JDkt11aZCdxyiJOI5N8sfE06Zpe1WFfSiGsunTxd4stbRk54AJxSATYyXsZ4MaIA8C04JW_sSHGlvEl9vE9DdThEVDvoucRBonh-tl9DNLnpo_fatM/s400/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483050714282727074" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >A new twist on making a withdrawal.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In marked contrast is the beautifully filmed bank robbery sequence that opens the film proper. Stone first gives us a privileged view of the men riding inside the getaway car, introducing them visually before we learn their names. This first brief glimpse of Legenza i<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">mmediately establishes his low-key yet unquestioned leadership. After the car parks a</span> </span>few yards from the bank entrance, one man gets out and saunters into the building as the voiceover states his criminal resume. In like manner, three more gang members follow suit, one at a time, and take up strategic positions inside. After impersonating customers for several minutes, they suddenly spring into action. The measured pace gives way to fast cutting as one crook disarms the harmless old security guard, another covers the patrons and employees, and two more nimbly leap over the teller windows, a shot given added dynamism through its high-angle perspective. (French director Jean-Pierre Melville must have been a fan of this scene, as he faithfully copied its slow-building rhythm, and many of its shots, in his 1973 neo-noir <span style="font-style: italic;">Un Flic</span>.)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A similar level of unobtrusive craftsmanship enriches many other set pieces: There’s a tense scene in which Legenza and Robert Mais (Wally Cassell) hide in the back of a truck amidst dozens of egg crates while a pair of checkpoint patrolmen peer through the cracks, putting the hoodlums in a cold sweat as they try to make themselves as small as possible.

While hiding out after one of their outfit has been killed, Legenza and Mais must prevent the girlfriend of the dead man from escaping and informing on them. Legenza locks her in a room, leaving Mais to watch her while he grabs a bite to eat. As he exits, Mais asks, “What are you gonna do with her?” Legenza stares at him for several seconds and then says, “That’s right.” As Mais closes the door behind Legenza, he glances balefully towards the girl’s room and turns out the light. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cochran is solid gold as career criminal George Legenza. Beginning his film career in 1945, he contributed memorable turns in <span style="font-style: italic;">The Chase</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Best Years of Our Lives</span> (both released in 1946), earned additional notice by holding his own against scene-stealer James Cagney in <span style="font-style: italic;">White Heat </span>(1949), and showed further range as a high-class hood who falls for Joan Crawford <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">in </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Damned Don’t Cry </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">(1950). <span style="font-style: italic;">Highway 301 </span>was his first starring role, and Cochran took</span> full advantage of the opportunity, creating one of the most bone-chilling characters in the crime film canon. He underplays his role nicely, wearing a heavy-lidded expression that evokes a snake waiting for the right moment to strike. His character also has an interesting kink in that he likes to have sex after pulling a big job (a characteristic shared by Richard Stark’s main character in the Parker novels). The dialog hints at this when Legenza is dancing with a reluctant Madeline after the bank job. “C’mon, sweetie, brighten up. You know what I like after a big deal. I gotta soak up a little fun.” “I don’t feel like fun,” she replies. “Well, try it for size,” he snarls. </span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvW78cXxrXkpI8OLLDc-38Ge85y6CaCLrARHG4z3bYA140MPuP2z58c_xKnA5vL84qeqsp9Aa39i9eenHUu5WCs4LKxY6UzYf6YQDrgQO1i9-qRPjmrr2sxoR5pX8JMxUcI05t9QslsNE/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvW78cXxrXkpI8OLLDc-38Ge85y6CaCLrARHG4z3bYA140MPuP2z58c_xKnA5vL84qeqsp9Aa39i9eenHUu5WCs4LKxY6UzYf6YQDrgQO1i9-qRPjmrr2sxoR5pX8JMxUcI05t9QslsNE/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483050079749094386" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Stone cold.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Fingering the Fifties</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• People smoking in hospitals.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Uniformed elevator operators.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Pleasant bank tellers.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Quotable</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">ROBERT MAIS [reading article on the gang’s exploits]: “Truscott says this and Truscott says that.

In forewords which are personally delivered by Maryland’s lame-duck Governor Lane and by Virginia’s and North Carolinas Governors Battle and Scott, respectively, these eminent and honorable officials convey the solemn idea that what you are about to see is something that will prove to you how profitless crime is. And what you see is a conventional modern-day cops-and-robbers film, based on the dismal depredations of the so-called Tri-State gang, in which robbing and shooting and violence are exhibited for pure sensation’s sake, with the gangsters annihilated in a juicy blood-bath at the end.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Opening with the supposed robbery of a bank in Winston-Salem, N.C., by a gang of five sinister hoodlums, not one of whom would win a brain-test prize, this picture recounts their adventures in their escapes, their other crimes and with their “molls” through a series of ticklish moments, until the cops finally give them the works. Steve Cochran plays the gang leader, so he’s the most arrogant of the mob, and Gaby Andre as a naive French-Canadian is the most sympathetic of the “molls.” As other gangsters, Robert Webber, Richard Egan and Wally Cassell are standard muggs, and Virginia Grey is acerbic as a “moll” who tries to play the game. However, the whole thing, concocted and directed by Andrew Stone, is a straight exercise in low sadism. And the reactions at the Strand yesterday among the early audience, made up mainly of muscular youths, might have shocked and considerably embarrassed the governors mentioned above.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">(As Pauline Kael noted in 1964, one could invariably rely on Crowther’s “reverse acumen” to determine a film’s true merit.)</span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Credits</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-style: italic;">Director</span>: Andrew L.

The constant fear of discovery, plus the contempt of family and friends for his political “disloyalty,” seems to have contributed to the hard-drinking informant’s already unstable personality. The FBI eventually considered him more of a liability than an asset, and cut him loose in 1950. Nonplussed, Cvetic emerged from the shadows that year to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC). He named some 300 Soviet agents and American communists, and his evidence led to the conviction of Pittsburgh party leader Steve Nelson. The brief celebrity resulting from Cvetic’s appearance and magazine articles led to this Warner Bros. production and, later, a radio series starring Dana Andrews.</span> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The film opens with communist big shot Gerhardt Eisler arriving in Pittsburgh to monitor the local cell’s activity. (Eisler was an actual figure, although his greatest influence on the CPUSA is said to have occurred during the 1930s.) We then see Cvetic en route to his mother’s house to help celebrate her birthday. His presence, however, casts a pall over the festivities; his brothers regard him with loathing, and his son Dick won’t even look him in the eye. Only Mama Cvetic dispenses familial affection, but before they cut the cake Matt is called to a meeting with Eisler by local party<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">chief Jim Blandon.</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbcJ0szevoAgb0Q-7vWdNyYs6xDnXqZWU2v6hdnnfAzMjZUHlGZJ11jiZvp6IKJ4HP_8caurqH1CvFzaFB6aG84UL3wESmQGSsT57CQ0T7Odo8CabBKpnD24K-7xdHrG67MCSe3E1VS2k/s1600/02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbcJ0szevoAgb0Q-7vWdNyYs6xDnXqZWU2v6hdnnfAzMjZUHlGZJ11jiZvp6IKJ4HP_8caurqH1CvFzaFB6aG84UL3wESmQGSsT57CQ0T7Odo8CabBKpnD24K-7xdHrG67MCSe3E1VS2k/s400/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480548032815678706" border="0" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Comrade Stalin and comrade...Lincoln? </span><br /><br />Over glasses of champagne, Eisler informs Matt of his promotion to chief district party organizer in recognition of his loyal service. (Cvetic works in the personnel office of the North American Steel Company, where he hires party members and fires non-members.) At a party rally later that evening Blandon plays the race card before a predominantly black audience in an attempt to stir up racial discord and labor unrest. (The Communist Party’s playing of racial politics in the film eerily foreshadows the Republican Party’s frequent use of the same tactic throughout the 1980s.)<br /><br />When not attending such functions or reporting to his FBI handlers, Cvetic finds himself faced with Dick’s increasing hostility; the sudden attentions of Dick’s teacher Eve Merrick, who confesses herself a fellow party member; and his suspicion (later proved correct) that Eve has been assigned to spy on him. A number of other plot threads ratchet up Matt’s fear and foreboding until he’s nearly at the breaking point. Matters come to a head during a party-instigated strike at the steel plant during which union leaders are beaten by lead-pipe-wielding CP agitators. Eve, whose loyalty has begun to waver after accidentally learning the truth about Matt, is repulsed by such open brutality and renounces her membership. Blandon immediately orders her liquidation, which sets off a dizzying chain of events: Matt intervenes in the attempt to kill Eve, undergoes a savage beating after his cover is blown, reestablishes his cover with the help of the FBI and, finally, delivers the knockout punch to the party leaders with his surprise testimony before HUAC.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOovawuX7FStzEo50-Lcieh84nT-alAOYklv2whxaf0mwvqNtOqWqOgIPLEgBr_6ZSlury8TQ3eTWIpbb3MpeQnNApxfsGE7G-SN6jrGW86iBx3Fx4MJJWT2RRhsiOO7uXtcZ72JsHFZk/s1600/04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOovawuX7FStzEo50-Lcieh84nT-alAOYklv2whxaf0mwvqNtOqWqOgIPLEgBr_6ZSlury8TQ3eTWIpbb3MpeQnNApxfsGE7G-SN6jrGW86iBx3Fx4MJJWT2RRhsiOO7uXtcZ72JsHFZk/s400/04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480547872769676994" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Cvetic faces the question every fifties father fears.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Summary Judgment</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">McCarthyism was riding high when this film was released, Senator Joe and other opportunists finding it easy to fan the flames of political paranoia in light of recent history: 1949 saw the establishment of the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union’s first nuclear weapons test; 1950 marked the beginning of the Korean War and the conviction of Klaus Fuchs for selling British and American atomic secrets to the USSR. Hollywood jumped on the patriotic bandwagon following the 1947 HUAC hearings on communist influence in the film industry. The major studios responded with the infamous blacklist and a spate of hyperbolic red menace films, including <span style="font-style: italic;">The Red Menace</span> (1949), <span style="font-style: italic;">Guilty of Treason </span>(194), <span style="font-style: italic;">I Married a Communist</span> (1949), <span style="font-style: italic;">Walk a Crooked Mile</span> (1949), <span style="font-style: italic;">Big Jim McClain </span>(1952) and, of course, <span style="font-style: italic;">I Was a Communist for the F.B.I. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Viewed today, it’s easy to laugh off the strident flag-waving and fear-mongering of such films. It’s likely that film audiences at the time were a bit more credulous. Ironically, membership in the CPUSA reached its peak of approximately 80,000 in 1944, when America and Russia were still allies working together to finish off the Third Reich. By the mid-fifties, though, membership had dropped to about 5,000, of which 1,500 were FBI informants. That didn’t <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">stop McCarthy and Hoover from playing the scare game. Among the more damaging fallout from films like <span style="font-style: italic;">I Was a Communist for the F.B.I. </span>was the implication that labor unrest was the result of communist agitation, a prejudice that lingers even today.</span></span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIHh72-L8aD6E5bWPZMDKJEEiJz5XGMN_dx6WfO03jyq_0-1SNpC98CCkc5V5441_QThX2rri6L9dUoW2kybebB-0c80EH0PR1zCniXkcXwpxHs7LoLO8bxxfekKXuEDdXUJBXc_9RZY/s1600/05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuIHh72-L8aD6E5bWPZMDKJEEiJz5XGMN_dx6WfO03jyq_0-1SNpC98CCkc5V5441_QThX2rri6L9dUoW2kybebB-0c80EH0PR1zCniXkcXwpxHs7LoLO8bxxfekKXuEDdXUJBXc_9RZY/s400/05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480547771134790674" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Matt and G-man Crowley (Richard Webb) listen to an FBI wiretap recording.</span><br /><br />Interestingly, the political implications of Crane Wilbur’s script don’t seem of particular concern to director Gordon Douglas, who treats the film more like noir than propaganda. The cinematography is full of chiaroscuro, the dialog is hard-boiled (even at its most deranged), and the acting is tough and terse. Even Max Steiner’s music is suitably minatory. Moreover, the communist party as portrayed is virtually indistinguishable from the mafia. Its leaders drink champagne and eat caviar while the foot soldiers do the dirty work; its security personnel are nothing more than paid assassins. When the party leadership is called before HUAC at the end of the film, their smugness and pleading of the Fifth Amendment directly evokes the Kefauver hearings (1950-51) and the testimony of mobsters like Frank Costello.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Douglas is one of those underrated American directors long overdue for critical reevaluation, and this film provides plenty of reasons why. It showcases his dramatic sense of pace, his frequently brilliant staging, and his ability to delineate character and advance narrative through expressive camerawork. <span style="font-style: italic;">I Was a Communist for the F.B.I. </span>features several set pieces </span>that stand comparison with those of more celebrated directors like Anthony Mann and Don Siegel. </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYqiqhVXOG0AtcacaE1jb-NAy_dDX29FBGWhvbo8omlr0LlYO6HUQs9CWBz5-YsT5q2VXbTJDeLodxrCx1peerrAn550LdwZtPK1PeCHjF4IPZcLv1T8BXTZokIfiAJBUhAC0qk6_AD8g/s1600/06.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYqiqhVXOG0AtcacaE1jb-NAy_dDX29FBGWhvbo8omlr0LlYO6HUQs9CWBz5-YsT5q2VXbTJDeLodxrCx1peerrAn550LdwZtPK1PeCHjF4IPZcLv1T8BXTZokIfiAJBUhAC0qk6_AD8g/s400/06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480547673225282242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Eve Merrick (Dorothy Hart) finds herself trapped amidst the haters.</span><br /><br />Consider the scene in which Matt is summoned home with his mother on her deathbed. Upon his arrival, his brother Joe tells him he can go upstairs to see her if he likes, hiding the fact that she’s already gone. Father Novak (the only person outside the FBI who knows Matt is working for them) intercepts Matt on the stairs and tells him the truth. Matt absorbs the blow, then turns to leave, pausing for a moment to glare wordlessly at Joe before stalking out. Douglas holds the shot for several seconds, just long enough to register their mutual antipathy but not too long to let the scene slip into bathos. Even more impressive is the steel plant strike scene, in which Douglas evokes Eve Merrick’s horror at the roughhouse tactics of the party goons and the visceral hate directed at their victims by the fellow travelers surrounding her. To the unrelenting din of their verbal frenzy (which vividly evokes Orwell’s “two-minute hate”), Douglas isolates her in a fluid tracking shot as she works her way through the mob, every face except hers a portrait in vitriol.<br /><br />Finally, an extended sequence near the end of the film proves that Douglas also had few peers as an action director. It begins at Eve’s apartment when Matt helps her evade the hit men sent to execute her, continues with the cold-blooded murder of an FBI agent, transitions to a speeding train from which Eve is almost tossed, and climaxes with a desperate foot chase and gun battle in a dark train yard. The violence is sharp and swift, imaged in dynamic camera angles and claustrophobic lighting. Particularly memorable is a killer’s fall down a flight of stairs onto train tracks directly in the path of an oncoming express, and an exchange of gunshots between Cvetic and another communist thug, who suddenly pirouettes towards the camera with a small, neat hole in his forehead. Frissons like these fully reveal the film’s thriller bias. </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLsdcA0f4j50JJ9tsMXkX2539fYyj9yb9PgyH6E1MpUfburTebyavweaTXo1osrSxWHDnqRvkokDKWkJmrhvO_CuWMBVtNJDuJD1O4o7h34GgKBDeolJxAOEMBE3hyphenhyphennVNW8bpOmWYPvIA/s1600/07.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLsdcA0f4j50JJ9tsMXkX2539fYyj9yb9PgyH6E1MpUfburTebyavweaTXo1osrSxWHDnqRvkokDKWkJmrhvO_CuWMBVtNJDuJD1O4o7h34GgKBDeolJxAOEMBE3hyphenhyphennVNW8bpOmWYPvIA/s400/07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480547569900370498" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >A highly charged composition from director Gordon Douglas.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The casting of Frank Lovejoy, who played similarly hard-bitten characters in numerous crime films, felicitously plays into Douglas’ treatment. Few actors did tight-lipped intensity as well as Lovejoy, who could suggest through the subtlest of means a simmering cauldron of emotions. The actor convincingly essays the pressures of Cvetic’s undercover existence, as well as the psychic pain of estrangement from his loved ones. One can practically feel him flinch when Dick asks him point blank: “Dad, tell me the truth, will ya? Are you a red or not?” Lovejoy’s conviction in this scene easily overcomes the risibility of the dialog. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The film’s emotional climax is also grounded in the personal rather than the political. As Matt reveals to HUAC that he’s been an FBI informant for the past nine years, he’s speaking as much to Joe and Dick sitting in the courtroom as to the American people listening to the radio. The film closes with a heartfelt father-son embrace as Matt says, “Even when you hated me, I loved you for it.” </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Fingering the Fifties</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Nominated for an Oscar as “Best Documentary.”</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Josef Stalin’s portrait prominently displayed during a communist rally. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Record shops with listening booths.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Quotable</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">MATT CVETIC: “Yes, as Gerhardt Eisler said, Pittsburgh was too quiet, too peaceful, so they cooked up a hell-brew of hate from a recipe written in the Kremlin.”</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">GERHARDT EISLER: “A</span> </span>very enjoyable evening....Blandon, you did exceedingly well.”</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">JIM BLANDON: “Thanks.

Koch (not to be confused with Howard Koch, who co-wrote <span style="font-style: italic;">Casablanca</span>) was a prolific producer/director who made a number of harder-than-hard-boiled films during the 1950s, notably <span style="font-style: italic;">Shield for Murder</span> (1954), with Edmond O’Brien as a mad dog killer cop; and <span style="font-style: italic;">Violent Road</span> (1958), a highly entertaining low-budget rip-off of Henri George Clouzot’s <span style="font-style: italic;">The Wages of Fear</span> (1954). But Koch’s masterpiece, his crime <span style="font-style: italic;">Casablanca</span>, if you will, was this brutal tale of a callous kidnapper played by Ralph Meeker, whose intense, tight-lipped portrayal seems like a warm-up for his blistering turn as anti-hero Mike Hammer in <span style="font-style: italic;">Kiss Me Deadly</span> released the same year. In fact, <span style="font-style: italic;">Big House, U.S.A.</span> is a contender for the most mean-spirited crime film of the decade, peopled with barely human characters and bursting with primal fifties brutality, including death by scalding and bludgeoning, unrestrained pistol-whipping, blowtorch corpse-disfiguring, and convict-killing policemen.<br /><br />The tough and unrelenting narrative gets underway when asthmatic weakling Danny Lambert (Peter J. Votrian) crashes out of a summer camp at Colorado’s Royal Gorge Park before a needle-wielding nurse can inject him with an allergy shot. Unfortunately, he runs straight into the not-so-tender mercies of a fisherman named Jerry Barker (Meeker), who promises to return Danny to his father. Feigning concern over the boy’s condition, he parks him in an abandoned fire tower while he “goes for help.” Instead, he phones Mr. Lambert (Willis Bouchey) and demands a $200,000 ransom.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Meanwhile, the increasingly agitated Danny attempts to climb down the tower, but inadvertently falls to his death just as Barker returns. Barker, a true sociopath, expresses not a shred of remorse over the boy’s demise as he tosses the body into a deep gorge as if he were throwing out the trash. He calmly collects the ransom money, but is caught trying to leave the park when rangers discover his un-permitted pistol. Confronted by FBI Special Agent James Madden (Reed Hadley) and the boy’s father, it’s obvious that Barker is guilty of kidnapping, but since the body can’t be found, Barker is convicted only of extortion and sentenced to five years in Cascabel Island Prison.</span><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX67PtGmlKYtdQWqVKr-KJEmun-52HS6J0pPvNazcPfXpxPlHs6fsbtUQZnV4kmxyrFWZ9PuPg1vFskMmKIAyi3aWC121pX287hGbjWmTnOv-tq68RA4aPyDDbQGPSdzJya0w7YGllObg/s1600/big+house:1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX67PtGmlKYtdQWqVKr-KJEmun-52HS6J0pPvNazcPfXpxPlHs6fsbtUQZnV4kmxyrFWZ9PuPg1vFskMmKIAyi3aWC121pX287hGbjWmTnOv-tq68RA4aPyDDbQGPSdzJya0w7YGllObg/s400/big+house:1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463728622674816354" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" >Meeker cools his heels while being guarded by Nazi stormtroopers...er, park rangers.</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:100%;" ><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:arial;" >Things go from bad to worse for Barker when the warden assigns him to a cell inhabited by a quartet of lifers led by Rollo Lamar (Broderick Crawford), a bank job strategist and the most ruthless man in the joint.

The flat, stripped-down images from cinematographer Gordon Avil also complement the harshness of the story and characters. Koch doesn’t attempt any of the stylistic flourishes of noir films, but he does conjure a few startling images that linger in memory. The film's opening shot reveals a cloudless sky into which a tightly gripped pistol suddenly thrusts into view and is immediately fired. It turns out to be merely a starter’s pistol for a children’s footrace at the summer camp, but it effectively presages the impending violence and death in store for several of the characters. Later in the film, FBI Agent Madden and the park’s chief ranger are engaged in a low-key conference in the latter’s office, but Koch adds a disquieting note through the foreground inclusion of a carbine rifle that visually dominates the frame.

The FBI man and park rangers intuit it, however, and stare daggers at the stone-faced kidnapper. Barker’s introduction to his cellmates is similarly effective, where he’s greeted with a sardonic “Well, the Iceman cometh” from Lamar and cold shoulders all around. Equally commendable is Koch and screenwriter John C. Higgins’ refusal to indulge in the usual prison movie clichés: There are no stern lectures from the warden, no beat-downs administered by the guards, and no one gets thrown into the hole. The harshness of the environment is conveyed through visual emphasis on the cramped quarters of the cell and the hellish working conditions in the boiler room, which Avil utilizes to evoke Dantesque images of toiling, sweating men.<br /><br />Higgins’ terse and unsentimental dialog recalls his screenplay contributions to earlier crime classics <span style="font-style: italic;">Raw Deal </span>(1948) and <span style="font-style: italic;">He Walked by Night</span> (1948). The overall tone is serious and matter of fact during the early section of the film detailing the kidnapping and manhunt, then takes on black comic undertones in the prison scenes. There’s some nice banter between Lamar and Alamo Smith (Lon Chaney, Jr.), in addition to a number of barbed exchanges between Lamar and Barker. Even the warden gets to deliver some droll observations on Barker’s cellmates, including this priceless nugget: “Alamo Smith—border killer, narcotic runner, wetback smuggler. You know, he’s not a bad guy, if he’s kept locked up.”<br /><br />But the best lines are mainly reserved for the bad guys, who are much more compelling and charismatic than the bland, impersonal representatives of law and order. This contrast is just one of many narrative subversions that elevate <span style="font-style: italic;">Big House, U.S.A.</span> to the highest level of fifties crime filmdom.</span><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRpKjzfw8soC01nYOa9QqYJg046iv5KDm9xsmxAk_gfueTuSXIx6llcOq1TX1J-SMGrmopnhsxacpgeJwmN_IbJlgviyzT8JfNt0zHTCA6vZPP6u481H8tsO8TC8EPUN4ecFwAFqswxo/s1600/big+house:3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 315px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRpKjzfw8soC01nYOa9QqYJg046iv5KDm9xsmxAk_gfueTuSXIx6llcOq1TX1J-SMGrmopnhsxacpgeJwmN_IbJlgviyzT8JfNt0zHTCA6vZPP6u481H8tsO8TC8EPUN4ecFwAFqswxo/s400/big+house:3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463728315065192882" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);font-size:78%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Bronson and Crawford compete for the sexiest chest.

They clear the decks for some graphic but standard bloodiness on the part of Mr. Meeker and his snarling kind. At one point, for instance, one convict scalds to death inside a boiler. Another one, a corpse this time, is rendered unrecognizable by a blowtorch. And where, during all this, are the anguished parents of the missing child?
