Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Undertow stars Scott Brady as a gambler just out of wartime military service. No longer interested in wagers and speculations, Brady wants only to open up a mountain vacation lodge. Before this can take place, Brady is framed for murder, and forced to hide out in the home of Peggy Dow. With the help of Dow and a policeman friend, Brady searches for the real murderer. Watch carefully in Undertow and you’ll spot new Universal contractee “Roc” Hudson as a plainclothes detective.

Viewing Notes
Billed during the introduction as a B-film noir directed by William Castle. Man, for a “b-movie” this is a damn good flick. Tied with my favorite of six films seen so far at Noir City Film Festival. Shot on location in Chicago it’s quite fun to see notable locations throughout. And there’s the lovely Peggy Dow again. Terrific film and sadly not on DVD.
