CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Aug-2006) I first saw this feature when the
movie was 10 years old... Just approximately two months after our
country landed Gus Grissom and his crew on the moon. Widmark, Cobb,
along with Tina Louise, (who would five years latter star as one of the
Gilligan Castoways), performed their best acting abilities in this
suspenseful melodrama. This is one of those late 1950's crime drama
films that was so well written, produced, and directed that today,s
Miami Vice, (The just released motion picture. Not the 80's NBC
series!), and/or any other feature in the crime drama field couldn't
match. The modern day western stage set up of the movie and those
finned Chrysler Corporation vehicles, (a pair of 1957 or'58 Chrysler
New Yorker sedans, Tina's 1949 to a '52 Dodge, Plymouth, or Desoto
convertable, and the pair of 1957 or '58 Plymouth Savoy sedan police
crusiers), along with the twin engine private plane used for the
attempt to fly Lee J. Cobb's character out of the country made this
outstanding mobster thriller seem like an episode of the hit Saturday
morning adventure drama at the time "Sky King",which was one of the
reasons I was, and still am a major fan of this movie. And I would very
much like to know if it's yet on DVD? I remember seeing somewhere on a
website that it is, but I now can't find the information that stated
it. It showed a photo of it being enclosed in a black plastic case and
the disc was enclosed in paper. If anyone who reads this this review is
aware of this being fact please inform me of this along with the
information of where I can purchase it!
Do you know something we don't?
