What an dope......


He's got a beautiful blonde (Janis Carter) with $250,000 cash in her bag and he turns her in to the police! I would have left town with the woman and the cash.

Oh, so you'd leave poor old Edgar Buchanan there to fry, would you?! That's cold.

What would Bix say?

Hey, didnt Paula (Janis Carter) say she would hire a good lawyer for him? Anyway I would rather be sleeping in a nice clean bed with Paula, than in a sleeping bag in the mountains with Edgar Buchanan!! LOL!!

Well, I'll assume that the OP isn't being serious, but just to point out what running off with the blonde would entail:

1. After swearing you wouldn't leave him in the lurch, you're leaving Jeff Cunningham in jail on a murder charge. This is the man who hired you out of blind trust in you, and who staked you to unnecessarily generous terms in the mining deal because of that trust. He'd be an innocent man up for a capital crime: with a good lawyer, he may or may not swing (and his incriminating laundry bag was found in the dead man's car and you know it's your fault).

2. You'd be spending the rest of your life directly profiting off the murder of Steve Price.

3. You be spending the rest of your life holding and professing your love to a woman who betrayed and murdered her last lover (who she knew was married to begin with) for cash.

And you would spend every day wondering if she was going to bump you off so she could have all the money for herself.

What Marlburian wrote above is my thought. Apart from the morality of it all, thinking "Well, she totally played one guy, killed him but *I'll* be different" isn't smart thinking.

Good movie, enjoyed it.

...And you'd spend the rest of your life (veiled warning!) drinking coffee made by a woman who keeps spice marked "POISON" right next to the coffee service. That might even make a big dope like Mike slightly aware and nervous.

Lol hell yeah me too

Have you forgotten about Steve Price? He had the blonde and the money; they even had the perfect plan of escape. How'd that work out for him? Even if he was tempted, which he was not, Mike knew far too much to fall for it. Paula was involved with Steve a long time yet she had no trouble knocking him off. She had no trouble leading Mike to believe he'd done it and, though he didn't know it, she was just as willing, able, and ready to kill him.

Besides, Mike was not that kind of person. He was a decent person; a man of good character and values. He wasn't interesting in living that kind of life; doing people in and stealing his money. We know that because he did right by Cunningham; made sure to pay Paula back; apologized to the secretary for hitting her husband; gambled only enough to earn the money he needed, stopping even when he was on a roll; thought to go immediately to the police even though he had no recollection of what had happened to Steve; and, in the end, he didn't even want the reward he was told he'd get.

Nope, he's not the kind of guy who would go on the lam with a murderous, scheming, money-hungry woman. He was hoping for love but the price was too high. I'm so glad they didn't try to do a 'love conquers all' kind of movie. I hate that.

You would have risked being nabbed for accessory to murder had Cunningham been proven innocent and the police figured out who killed Price?
