(1961) Ed Dugan, G.J. Mitchell, Louis Gartner, Don Alderetter, Madeline Frances, Wes Carlson. A teenage boy drives off from a diner and witnesses a car-to-car shooting in which a gangster is badly wounded, his car crashing into a ditch. The teenager stumbles down the embankment to help, but the gangster, still alive, pulls a gun and forces him to drive him to his “pal’s” house. After a scuffle, his pal (a doctor) shoots the gangster. The teenager flees. Soon the teen’s life is turned upside down as flees from both the cops and the crooks. This film sports a sleazy, jazzy score that enhances the seedy nature of the story. The storyboarding and cinematography are quite good for such a low budget affair. There is, of course, a bevy of good-looking gangster’s molls with heavy eye makeup thrown into the mix. Really cool opening credits. All in all this is a bang-up movie for something so cheaply made. From 35mm.
