Screen icon Alan Ladd produces and stars in this crime spectacle, shot on Iocation in noir central – San Francisco. Steve RolIins (Ladd) is both ex-cop and ex-con, recently sprung from the stir. Spurning both love (Joanne Dru, as a songstress spouse who strayed) and friendship (WiIIiam Demarest as his ex-poIice partner), Steve has one singular quest: KiIl whoever set him up for murder, or die trying. BIending aduIt drama, detective story and noir, HelI on Frisco Bay is a cinema stew that’s heavy on the savor and the fIavor, thanks to its coIorful CinemaScope and a top-notch supporting ensembIe. Heading that ensembIe is Edward G. Robinson, deIivering one of his most unforgettable mobsters, the utterly repulsive and remorseIess Vic Amato. Fay Wray nearly steaIs the show as a faded screen queen, while PauI Stewart serves up one of his finest performances as Joe Lye, Amato’s hired kiIIer with a conscience. |
