Anecdotes
In the final scene, where the car nearly drives off the end of San Francisco's still-unfinished Embarcadero Freeway, the car was driven by stunt driver Guy Way. Way's wife was in the car with him; he had told her that he was just going to drive the car near the edge of the drop-off--which was about 100 feet--and then stop. What he didn't tell her was that he was actually supposed to accelerate to top speed then slam on the brakes in order to stop just inches from the precipice. Director Don Siegel in an interview recalled that when the shot was complete, Way's wife was so traumatized by the stunt that she had to be dragged from the car, kicking and screaming hysterically. The couple survived but it is not clear if their marriage did. In addition to the stunt, Way was briefly seen at the beginning of the film playing the cab driver who crashes on the Embarcadero.

Gaffes
When the passengers are disembarking the ship, Staples gives Dancer the address of the couple as "9020 Jackson". Dancer then relays it to his driver, McLain, as "2090 Jackson". McLain then drives to the correct house on 2090 Jackson Street, which was then being used as the headquarters of the California Historical Society.

Commentaire à la une

One film that should be on tape or DVD

The late director, Don Siegel, never made a bad film: and many of them were classics of their kind. He directed "Flaming Star", one of Presley's better efforts. He directed Clint Eastwood in "Coogan's Bluff", "Two Mules For Sister Sara", and "The Beguiled". He made one of the best of John Wayne's later films: "The Shootist". He directed the original "Invasion of The Body Snatchers". He also directed now rarely seen films like "Baby Face Nelson", with Mickey Rooney.

"The Lineup" stands out even among this fine body of work. While "The Lineup" is a 'caper' film, it's anything but what passes these days for films of that genre. I was lucky that a film society I belonged to, managed to get hold of a 35mm print of this film, along with prints of "The Hanged Man", Riot In Cell Block 11", "The Verdict", "Baby Face Nelson", and others. Naturally, this and other early Don Siegel films are not on tape. Something I hope will be rectified one day, hopefully now, put out on DVD. Eli Wallach, as 'Dancer', is outstanding, as is Robert Keith as 'Julian'. If it turns up on TV, or cable, cancel everything and watch it. It has one of the best endings ever!
