gangsta
28 September 2022
It's a gangster flick, interrupted now and then by musical numbas. Dane clark, janis paige, zach scott. A love triangle, towards the end of the film code. Right at the open, we hear the name steve maddux, and a reporter is ... reporting something big has happened, but we're not sure just what. Let's flash back to see how we got here. Georgia is singing in a show in chicago on new year's eve, but gets an offer to come to new york. But steve gets caught up in a murder. And the reporter gets caught up in georgia. Now it's a tangled mess. And the cops are closing in. Where does georgia fit in with all this? Keep an eye out for joe marino.... george tobias was also abner kravitz in bewitched! Scott was always great at playing the underhanded sleaze... as he did in mildred pierce. Sadly, he died young at 51 of a brain tumor. A pretty huge list of extras in the nightclubs and pool halls. Imdb shows us that filming took place august and september of 1945, so naturally, there's a patriotic wartime theme at the start.... right at the end of world war two. Directed by freddy decordova, the second film he directed. But he's better known as johnny carson's producer for years. Playing on the turner classics. The end scene is pretty silly, but over-all, the film is fun to watch!
