Movie Reviews

Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostInventive, visually rich film noir about crooked gambling, telephone tech and Boulder Dam.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Virginia Graham[711 Ocean Drive was] made, it is claimed, under police protection, which is why, perhaps, it is such an incoherent bundle of nerves.
User Review - 8/10 by Deke PSaw it on late nite tv around 2016. Fascinating, especially L.A., Boulder Damn near Vegas, Frisco, Candlestick Park MLB playoffs.
User Review - 8/10 by Trent RGreat post-war Noir that transitions b/w gangster individualism and syndicate films. It's a sort of Horatio Alger success story, told largely in flashback by O'Brien as he climbs the ladder of organized crime. This is done through technical innovation, conning the cons, stepping on the small operators in the numbers racket, and sheer cutthroat guile. Otto Kruger turns in an amazing performance as a made man, well above soiling his hands with petty details but wise to the tactics of both his criminal rivals and the police. Despite the inevitable comeuppance of the conclusion, the point is made beforehand that criminality at Kruger's level is beyond the current reach of the law. So, there is the fated individual combined with a sense of futility in the face of a rigged system. Not unique themes, but told here in a nicely alternating combination and with great economy. Plus, 1950 LA locations are featured to outstanding effect.
User Review - 6/10 by Senor CTruly enjoyed this noir. Unfortunately it's not talked about very much. Too bad; it's damn good. Edmond O'Brien starts w/ humble beginnings running lines for the ponies, seizes opportunity when his boss gets whacked & eventually gets caught up in the bookie syndicate. Not happy w/ the money he's making he wants the dame as well & puts the hit out on him. In fear of being blackmailed & caught he knocks of the mechanic himself. On the verge of being found out he stings the syndicate so he can flee the country w/ a shit load of cash. Great pacing to this that constantly evolves as a man who becomes more & more corrupt for personal gain & in the end flees for his life. O'Brien should have been happy w/ what he originally had but when you smell the green backs those who stand in your way must become casualties
User Review - 6/10 by Adam DHow the information highway leads straight to hell--Fairly Standard Los Angeles Noir!!
User Review - 6/10 by Martin TA very entertaining film which contains a fascinating (for me) look at how the gambling industry utilized technology in the late 40s/early 50s. A great performance by Edmund O'Brien. A nice diversion on a rare rainy Saturday in LA.
