Maybe the best of Philip Ford

Philip Ford belonged to the lousiest directors who worked for Republic Pictures, the less ambitious, the less talented too, he remained all long his career in grade Z pictures, unlike RG Springsteen, Harry Keller and Thomas Carr who finally raised - at least a bit - their own career, also after a beginning at she same company. Philip Ford, like, George Blair, I repeat, remained in the bottom of the basket. Fred C Brannon, John English, besides their serial contribution with the likes of Bill Witney and Spence Gordon Bennet, were more or less the same. So was Franklyn Adreon. So, concerning this little thriller, it is rather good, not comedy oriented as so many Republic films of this period. It is a petty crime flick, not that boring nor flat, with a good Tony Caruso, but the overall result remains unfortunately predictable.
