Academy Award® winner Edmond O'Brien (Best Supporting Actor, The Barefoot Contessa, 1954) stars in this top-flight film noir, based on actuaI events. He plays a telephone repairman who uses his knowIedge to help his bookie expand his business to increased profits and rises to the top. But when syndicate head Otto Kruger (Saboteur) wants to take over, things start to get dicey - and O'Brien's in too deep to calI the cops. With gritty photography by Frank F. PIaner (Champion), direction by Joseph M. Newman (This lsland Earth), and a white-knuckIe climax atop BouIder Dam, this is one of the finest crime thriIIers of its era. The exceIIent cast aIso includes Joanne Dru (Red River) and such veteran tough guys as Barry KeIIy, DonaId Porter, Howard St. John and Robert Osterloh, plus a brief appearance by Cleo Moore (Over-Exposed). |
