Overview

Philip Ford’s crime thriller stars Lloyd Bridges as a city attorney who comes to the dawning realization that a jewelry heist may be behind the discovery of a dead body in the park—and that the culprit may be one of the town’s leading citizens (Ray Collins). Unfortunately, his investigation is hampered by his girlfriend and ex-secretary (Lorna Gray), who could very well be in cahoots with the bad guys.

Viewing Notes

Decent enough pseudo-noir on Instawatch. Really the draw here are the leads in particular Lloyd Bridges and Lorna Gray as the storyline is a bit of a snooze. Not a lot of excitement or intrigue for a capturing a band of jewel thieves but fine to kill an hour.
