      Audience Member Jaded cop sacrifices integrity for beautiful young wife--Jazzy Modern Noir!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Glenn Ford bed-hopping detective? Well yes, but only between his current wife and ex-girlfriend of long ago. It is so out of character to see Ford as a romantic type, but true to form he is still the victim of circumstances. Slow paced crime drama but well done. B&W. [img]http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4840111283897603&pid=1.7&w=265&h=188&c=7&rs=1[/img] As the title so aptly describes this film, The Money Trap is about financial problems driving unlikely people to desperate measures. Glenn Ford becomes seduced by quick millions to be gotten but for me the film did not emphasize his debt or financial worries enough to warrent his actions.

One day, a burglar is reported shot at the home of a doctor. But upon investigating, Baron gets to know the dead burglar's alcoholic wife, Rosalie, and becomes aware that the doctor, Horace Van Tilden, is the head of an illegal drug syndicate. Stars James Mitchum (Robert Mitchum's brother) among many other veteran actors.
