A fun noir hiest film which probably cost maybe $1,000 to make in the 50's and maybe would cost $20,000 to make today. 1.5 stars just because I like noir movies.
It made me laugh when they kept using the same footage over and over in different parts of the movie. Also funny how 2 gunshots can kill 8 people.
Sterling Hayden was a fine actor in his day and he does a great job in this film as the lead Johnny Clay. The main girl in the film is an actress named Marie Windsor. I read about her on IMDB and found out she was born in a small town in Utah called Marysvale, attended BYU, and was active in the church her whole life.
The story is about a group of guys who plan on stealing $2 Million from a horse race track operation. They almost get away with it but lose in the end.
