I also watched "The Lineup" for the first time and enjoyed it
immensely. Very well acted and directed, I thought Robert
Keith was a standout as the mentor of killer Eli Wallach who
collects the last words of Wallach's victims. One sidenote,
the actor who did the nice turn as the guy who fingered the
passengers with heroin hidden in their luggage was Robert
Bailey. Bailey was the star of radio's "Your's Truly, Johnny
Dollar," the last hardboiled radio series and one of the
best.
