Viewing Notes

Doing a film noir double tonight since I had to pick up this DVD from library today. Thought I had seen this one since it features a young Charles Bronson but I have not.

Solid flick with a really good finale. All the cars look immaculate. Very amusing that after the heist when the dust has settle Sterling Hayden’s Detective just lets Steve Lacey (Gene Nelson) go home.
