Don't Bother With this Riffraff *1/2

Map searching and oil, how about following through more with the significance of all this? Yes, they're looking for a map, but where exactly should they want to go?

This film is a first class stinker. Pat O'Brien was never really a leading man and this film proves it. You needed a suave, debonair guy for it and O'Brien still acts like is at a pool hall in a back alley.

As usual, Walter Slezak is up to no good, and Jerome Cowan is hardly the evil type, though he winds up with a knife in him, courtesy of Slezak. As for Ann Jeffreys being a femme fatale, we can forget that entirely.
