Hi Mark,
I hate to think that you might have stifled yourself in that
theatre all weekend solely on my recommendation! Alan Ladd is
ok (he's Alan Ladd, playing the same character he always did,
himself) and Veronica Lake is typically a match for his
wooden acting, but Brian Donlevy really shined when finally
given the opportunity to play a "heavy" who wasn't just
another villain.
What did you think? Did you catch it?
Brian
