Plots(1)
Twists, double-crosses and political intrigue abound in this classic thriller starring the golden couple of film noir. A crooked political boss, Paul Madvig (Brian Donlevy), falls for Janet Henry (Veronica Lake), daughter of a prospective Baltimore governor, and decides to mend his ways. However, when Janet's no-good brother turns up dead, Madvig's colourful past returns to haunt him as he is fingered as the likely suspect. Which of his many enemies conspired to frame him? And can he, with the assistance of right-hand man Ed Beaumont (Alan Ladd), prove his innocence before he is sent down for murder? (Arrow Academy)
