79 minute running time, so a tightly made movie … I enjoyed this one, true crime from 1948, sort of documentary style … the Coen brothers, I bet, borrowed the bullet removal scene in No Country for Old Men from this (see screencap below) … using the LA storm drain system for the chase scene / finale was really good … I can recommend this one, it’s a green-go. John Farr hipped me to it … as I’ve mentioned in the past Farr is an educated east coast white guy around my age, so we agree on many movies.
