Biker B 08/25/2023 Another great noir type movie! Definitely ahead of it's time showing what prisoners are really like! Great movie See more 12/06/2020 Somehow original, Kidnapping a kidnapper was well planned, however the kidnapper role was not fitting the actor playing itself See more 06/06/2020 This is a 1955 movie and full of the old familiar actors I watched on the 3:00 afternoon movies after school, while my friends watched cartoons. I've always loved movies. It was a good story and entertaining but I must admit, I laughed out loud more than once at the dialog. My absolute favorite in came at the very end. I'm sure I won't be giving away anything when I tell you the FBI got their men. The voice over had the FBI agt telling that Broderick Crawford's character had been captured. But I lost it when he of him "a bank robber and an advisor to bank robbers." This was in the last minute of the film Absolutely hysterical!!

Includes some excellent performances including supporting roles from Lon Chaney and a very young Charles Bronson. The kidnapping plot towards the end is enjoyed, and is brutal in some places for a 1950s film. Recommended! See more 03/04/2011 This is a astonishing movie made in 1955, by Bel-Air Productions (who). I watch this via Netflixs instant watch (excellent deal); The movie was mostly filmed in the Royal Gorge of Colorado, a forgotten landmark in the United States. The scenes were breathtaking. This movie contained so many film greats. Broderick Crawford, Ralph Meeker, William Talman, Lon Chaney Jr., Charles Bronson and of course child actor in 1955 Peter J. Votrian. The movie is about a young boy who runs away from summer camp only to be found by the man who wants to kidnap him. The boy dies by accident but the kidnapper goes through with collecting the ransom. It follows the story as the kidnapper is put in prison only to escape to collect the hidden money, many twist and turns, this film will make you a watcher of the forgotten Black & White Film Noir. 5 Stars I'm Hooked,.
