Viewing Notes

Bought the Arrow Academy Blu-ray of this, titled PICK-UP ALLEY, during their summer camp sale. Despite average performances from Mature and Ekberg, this is a really strong globetrotting crime thriller, gorgeously shot on location and buoyed by an outstanding performance by Trevor Howard as the drug running ringleader.

This could almost pass for a Dr. Mabuse film. Highly recommend!
