[box]You can’t make a picture without a villain . . . it pays well and you last. – Dan Duryea[/box]
An OK British thriller gives us the chance to see Dan Duryea after all these years.
John Hopta (Duryea) masterminds a kidnapping turned murder. His wife makes the ransom call. The only witness can provide, who was bending down when she heard it, can provide only a description of the shoes. Nonetheless, she is in great danger herself.
I was underwhelmed by this sleeper but I never pass up a chance to see Dan Duryea, my all-time favorite heel.
