Histoire

Modifier

Anecdotes
One of the first films to be shot in the Los Angeles River.

Gaffes
In a scene where Miller and Egan are in a chase car the background footage includes vehicles from earlier decades, obviously older stock footage.

Citations
Diane: Someday you're going to want something nice and expensive that you can't afford on a detective's salary.
Joe Peters: Like what?
Diane: Like me.

Crédits fous
The opening credits seem to be an early attempt at creative credits where the credits try to fit the blacktop of the road we're "traveling" on.

Commentaire à la une

Typical, well-made film noir

This is a typical film noir of the period and , in my opinion, this is no bad thing. It follows all the typical patterns of a hundred other B-movies of a similar type of it's day. Shadowy photography, good man laid low by the femme fatale, a few seedy gangsters thrown in, all the ingredients are there. If you're not a big fan of noir then you might switch off after 30 minutes exclaiming that "I've seen it all before", and you'd be right. Personally I love the genre and thought this was a competently made movie with good performances by the leading actors. McGraw is perfect as the law-abiding detective seduced into lawlessness by the siren of the piece (Dixon).

If you like film noir check ROADBLOCK out. If you don't then maybe this movie's not for you.
