I am watching this one right now on TCM. It's a very good,,entertaining, movie.

Joan Dixon is quite beautiful.

John Howard sure takes a lot of beatings in this movie. Hope he had a good stunt man.

I was disappointed. I was thinking it would be a triller type movie. Not what I expected; also, the movie was only 58min long?

it's definitely an original idea, just poorly executed.

I was hoping for something a bit better-John Howard was a good actor, and should have had more starring roles (he was Bulldog Drummond for a time in the movies), the best film he was ever in was The Philadelphia Story, as the man Katherine Hepburn is supposed to be marrying. Joan Dixon was lovely, I mean it was an alright film, but I don't think I care to see it again. Robert Shayne as the bad guy, who kills his so-called friend is one of my least favorite "B" actors. However, as I always say-if you like it, don't worry about what others think.
