Review :
Quickie, Quirky, Quaint
Cheap Hugh Beaumont stocking stuffer about a self-made private eye trying to get the low-down on the local dock rats.
Ultimately under-rated movie from the film noir category over-shadowed by the mainstream heavy weight box office draws of the day like Bogart and Cagney, but Hugh holds his own here. Good locations and authentic atmosphere keeps this floating orange above water while Hugh does his best to turn a clichéd script and by-the-numbers weekday drama into Saturday night in Sioux City.
Beaumont's 'other' 1951 fader along with 'Lost Continent'; recommended for aficionados of this genre.
