  1. Ooookay, this is a little better "B" movie. The action is good given the budget the studio had to work within. John Ireland not only stared but directed too. Some parts of the story could have used a bit more elaboration, but over all not bad. If I were doing the writing this might have had a different ending to it as I felt this one was on the week side, but hey, it's a "B" movie. Miss Malone is pretty damn hot! Wish I could find a babe like that. I love the line where Connie says to Frank, "I like to walk, it helps me keep my figure." Frank answers, "Yeah, I noticed."

  2. Correction: Connie says to Frank, "I like to walk, it helps me keep my figure." Frank answers, "Yeah, I noticed." Actually it is Frank who says to Connie, "Walking's good for your Figure." To which Connie replies, "There's nothing wrong with my figure!" Which then Frank says, "I notices." Even though no one really reads the comments, or so it seems, I just wanted to correct my mistake.
